What are the Challenges Associated with UHV Conditions?
While UHV conditions offer numerous advantages, they also come with challenges:
1. Complex Equipment: Maintaining UHV conditions requires sophisticated and expensive equipment, which can be difficult to operate and maintain. 2. Sample Preparation: Preparing samples that are representative of real-world catalysts can be challenging in a UHV environment. 3. Limited Pressure Range: The reactions studied under UHV conditions might not always translate directly to high-pressure, industrial conditions, a phenomenon often referred to as the pressure gap.
