Despite the numerous benefits, there are challenges in the field of catalysis for energy. One major challenge is the development of cost-effective and highly efficient catalysts. Many efficient catalysts, such as those based on platinum or palladium, are expensive and scarce. Research is ongoing to find alternative materials, such as transition metal catalysts, that are more abundant and affordable. Another challenge is the scalability of laboratory findings to industrial applications, which requires comprehensive understanding and optimization of catalytic processes.
