What are the Challenges and Future Directions in Catalysis?
While catalysis offers numerous benefits, there are challenges such as catalyst deactivation, the need for rare and expensive metals, and the development of more efficient and selective catalysts. Future research is focused on finding sustainable and abundant materials for catalysts, improving catalyst stability, and enhancing the understanding of catalytic mechanisms at the atomic level. Advances in computational catalysis and machine learning are also paving the way for the design of next-generation catalysts.
