To minimize inconsistencies in catalysis, several strategies can be employed:
1. Standardization: Adopting standardized protocols for catalyst preparation, reaction conditions, and measurement techniques can help reduce variability. 2. Characterization: Comprehensive characterization of catalysts using techniques like X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) can provide insights into their properties and help identify sources of inconsistency. 3. Reproducibility Tests: Conducting reproducibility tests and running multiple trials can help identify and mitigate inconsistencies.
