What are the Challenges in Catalysis for Energy Applications?
Despite its numerous benefits, catalysis faces several challenges in energy applications. One major challenge is the development of cost-effective catalysts made from abundant materials. Many effective catalysts are based on rare and expensive metals like platinum and palladium. Researchers are continually seeking alternatives that are both effective and economically viable. Another challenge is the stability and durability of catalysts under harsh operating conditions, which can affect their long-term performance and viability.
