Optimization of catalytic processes involves a multi-faceted approach:
Catalyst Design: Engineering catalysts at the molecular or nanoscale level to improve activity and selectivity. Reaction Conditions: Fine-tuning parameters such as temperature, pressure, and concentration to maximize efficiency. Reaction Mechanism: Understanding the steps of the catalytic cycle to identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement. In Situ Characterization: Monitoring the catalyst under operational conditions to gain insights into its behavior and deactivation pathways.
