A new strategy for designing efficient bi-functional heterogeneous catalysts is presented. We avoid assigning conflicting tasks to a single catalyst component. Each component is allowed to maximize the efficiency of the task/tasks assigned to it. With conflicts avoided, the Sabatier volcano plot is avoided. The water-gas-shift (WGS) reaction (CO + H2O -> CO2 + H2) is used as an example to illustrate this idea. Experimental and theoretical results show that bi-functional catalysts designed under this new framework have significantly lower rate-limiting reaction barriers.
