What are the Challenges Facing Catalysis Research?
Despite its numerous benefits, catalysis research faces several challenges:
Durability: Ensuring catalysts maintain their activity over long periods. Cost: Developing cost-effective catalysts, particularly for large-scale industrial applications. Specificity: Designing catalysts that are highly specific to desired reactions to minimize side products. Scalability: Ensuring that laboratory-scale catalytic processes can be effectively scaled up for industrial use.
