Developing safer catalysts involves a multi-disciplinary approach that includes:
1. Green Chemistry Principles: Following principles of green chemistry to design catalysts that are less hazardous and more sustainable. 2. Computational Modelling: Using advanced computational methods to predict the behavior and safety of new catalytic materials. 3. Experimental Screening: Conducting extensive laboratory testing to evaluate the efficacy and safety of potential catalysts. 4. Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring that new catalysts meet local and international safety and environmental regulations.
