Are There Any Limitations Related to Activity and Selectivity?
Yes, activity and selectivity are crucial parameters in catalysis. A highly active catalyst accelerates the reaction rate, while a selective catalyst ensures that the desired product is formed preferentially. However, achieving both high activity and high selectivity in a single material can be challenging. For example, while zeolites are highly selective due to their well-defined pore structures, their activity may be limited compared to metal catalysts.
