Despite its importance, catalyst screening faces several challenges:
Complexity of reactions: Chemical reactions can be highly complex, making it difficult to identify the key factors that influence catalyst performance. Scale-up issues: Catalysts that perform well in small-scale tests may not always translate to large-scale industrial processes. Data management: The vast amount of data generated during screening requires efficient management and analysis to derive meaningful insights. Environmental concerns: The use of certain catalysts may pose environmental or health risks, necessitating the development of safer alternatives.
