What are the Challenges Associated with Metal Oxides in Catalysis?
Despite their advantages, there are several challenges associated with metal oxides in catalysis:
- Deactivation: Metal oxides can undergo deactivation due to sintering, poisoning, or fouling. - Selectivity: Achieving high selectivity for desired products can be challenging, especially in complex reaction networks. - Scalability: Some metal oxides may be difficult to scale up for industrial applications due to issues related to synthesis and processing.
