Spin polarization and chemical catalysis: what we know, what works, and what's next
Abstract
conversion, ammonia synthesis, and CO oxidation. We next highlight effective strategies to improve catalytic performance by modulating spin polarization, including structural engineering and the application of external magnetic fields. Finally, we outline priorities for integrating spin effects into advanced catalytic systems through coordinated development in experimental technologies and theoretical approaches, thereby unlocking opportunities for sustainable chemical processes.
