What are the Challenges in Achieving High Catalyst Efficiency?
Despite the advancements, several challenges remain:
1. Catalyst Deactivation: Over time, catalysts can lose their efficiency due to fouling, sintering, or poisoning. 2. Cost of Materials: Some highly efficient catalysts, like those based on precious metals, can be prohibitively expensive. 3. Scalability: Transitioning from lab-scale to industrial-scale while maintaining efficiency can be challenging. 4. Environmental Impact: The disposal and recycling of catalysts need to be managed to minimize environmental impact.
