Addressing these challenges requires a multi-faceted approach. For catalyst deactivation, strategies such as the development of more robust catalysts, the use of protective coatings, and the implementation of regeneration processes are being explored. Improving selectivity often involves the design of catalysts with specific active sites or the use of chiral catalysts for enantioselective reactions.
Enhancing activity can be achieved through various methods, including the use of nanoparticles, the optimization of reaction conditions, and the development of bimetallic catalysts. To mitigate environmental impact, researchers are focusing on the discovery of bio-catalysts and the use of renewable raw materials.
