What are the Challenges in Catalyst Coatings and Modifications?
Despite the benefits, several challenges exist in catalyst coatings and modifications:
- Uniformity: Achieving a uniform coating or modification across the entire catalyst surface can be challenging, impacting performance consistency. - Scalability: Scaling up laboratory-scale methods to industrial-scale production without losing performance can be difficult. - Cost: High costs associated with certain materials or modification techniques can limit their practical application. - Durability: Ensuring that the coatings and modifications remain stable under reaction conditions over extended periods.
Addressing these challenges requires ongoing research and development to discover new materials, methods, and processes that offer improved performance and cost-effectiveness.
