Despite its importance, achieving precision in catalysis poses several challenges:
Complexity: Catalytic reactions often involve multiple steps and intermediates, making them difficult to control. Variability: Inconsistencies in catalyst preparation and reaction conditions can lead to variability in results. Scale-Up: Processes that work well in the laboratory may not perform similarly on an industrial scale. Deactivation: Catalysts can lose activity over time due to fouling, poisoning, or sintering.
