What are the Challenges in Catalysis for Carbon Emission Reduction?
Despite the benefits, there are challenges in using catalysis to reduce carbon emissions:
Efficiency and Selectivity: Developing catalysts that are highly efficient and selective for specific reactions remains a significant challenge. Durability: Catalysts can degrade over time, reducing their effectiveness. Enhancing their durability is crucial for long-term applications. Cost: Many effective catalysts, such as those based on precious metals, are expensive. Research is ongoing to find cost-effective alternatives.
