Yes, there are several strategies to reduce the cost of catalysts:
Alternative Materials: Research is ongoing to find alternative materials that can replace expensive metals. For example, using transition metal complexes instead of precious metals. Recycling and Reuse: Implementing efficient recycling processes can mitigate costs by recovering and reusing catalysts. Nanotechnology: Utilizing nanostructured catalysts can increase surface area and enhance catalytic activity, potentially reducing the amount of catalyst needed.
