What are the Challenges Associated with Carbon Oxides in Catalysis?
Despite their importance, carbon oxides present several challenges:
Poisoning of Catalysts: CO can bind strongly to the active sites of catalysts, leading to catalyst poisoning and reduced efficiency. Environmental Concerns: Both CO and CO2 are greenhouse gases, with CO2 being a major contributor to global warming. Hence, there is a pressing need for sustainable catalytic processes that can mitigate CO2 emissions.
