Improving the efficiency of material usage in catalysis can help alleviate scarcity. Strategies include:
Recycling: Developing efficient methods for recycling and reusing catalytic materials from spent catalysts can significantly reduce the demand for new materials. Optimization: Enhancing catalyst performance through better design and optimization can reduce the amount of material needed for the same catalytic activity. Alloying: Combining precious metals with more abundant ones to create alloys can reduce the reliance on scarce materials while maintaining catalytic performance.
