Cost efficiency in catalysis can be evaluated through various metrics, including:
Catalyst Lifetime: The duration a catalyst remains active and effective before it requires replacement. Turnover Frequency (TOF): The number of times a catalyst can convert reactants to products per unit time. Turnover Number (TON): The total amount of product formed per amount of catalyst over its lifetime. Cost per Unit of Product: The total cost of using the catalyst divided by the amount of product generated.
