What are the Challenges in Catalysis and Materials Science?
Despite significant advancements, several challenges remain:
Durability: Ensuring catalysts maintain their activity over long periods without deactivation. Cost: Reducing the cost of catalyst materials, especially precious metals, to make processes economically viable. Selectivity: Designing catalysts that can produce the desired product with minimal side reactions. Scalability: Scaling up laboratory discoveries to industrial-scale processes. Environmental Impact: Developing environmentally benign catalysts and processes.
