What Are Some Alternatives to High-Cost Catalysts?
To address cost and availability issues, researchers explore several alternatives:
Non-Precious Metal Catalysts: Transition metals like iron, nickel, and cobalt are less expensive and more abundant alternatives to precious metals. Biocatalysts: Enzymes and other biological catalysts offer a renewable and often cost-effective alternative, especially for specific reactions. Catalyst Recycling: Techniques for recycling and regenerating used catalysts can significantly reduce costs and mitigate availability issues.
