To mitigate the effects of incomplete descriptions, a more holistic approach to reporting and documenting catalytic processes is necessary. Researchers should aim to provide thorough descriptions of all relevant parameters, including:
Detailed characterization of catalysts Comprehensive reaction conditions Mechanistic details and kinetic studies Long-term performance and deactivation behavior
Moreover, employing advanced analytical techniques such as in situ spectroscopy and computational modeling can provide deeper insights into catalytic mechanisms.
