What Are the Challenges in Achieving Improved Efficiency?
Despite the benefits, several challenges exist in the quest for more efficient catalysis:
Stability: Many catalysts tend to deactivate over time due to factors like sintering, poisoning, or fouling. Cost: Some highly efficient catalysts, such as those based on noble metals, can be prohibitively expensive. Scalability: Techniques that work well on a small scale may not be easily scalable to industrial levels. Environmental Impact: The synthesis and disposal of certain catalysts can pose environmental challenges.
