What Are the Challenges in Achieving Efficient Catalysis?
Despite the benefits, there are several challenges associated with achieving efficient catalysis:
Catalyst Deactivation: Over time, catalysts can lose their activity due to poisoning, fouling, or sintering. Developing more robust catalysts and effective regeneration techniques is a key area of research. Scalability: Some highly efficient catalytic processes are difficult to scale up from the laboratory to industrial scale without losing performance. Cost: High-performance catalysts, especially those based on precious metals, can be prohibitively expensive. Finding cost-effective alternatives is an ongoing challenge.
