2. What are the current challenges in catalysis research?
Several challenges must be addressed to advance catalysis, including:
Catalyst stability: Ensuring that catalysts remain active over extended periods without deactivation. Selectivity: Developing catalysts that can selectively target specific reactions to minimize by-products. Scalability: Translating laboratory successes to industrial-scale applications efficiently and economically. Sustainability: Designing catalysts that are environmentally friendly and derived from abundant, non-toxic materials.
