What Are the Challenges in Catalysis for Energy Storage?
Despite the advantages, there are several challenges: - Durability: Catalysts can degrade over time, leading to reduced efficiency. - Cost: Precious metals like platinum are expensive, making the overall system costly. - Selectivity: Catalysts need to be highly selective to avoid side reactions that can reduce efficiency. - Scalability: Producing catalysts at scale while maintaining performance is a significant challenge.
