What Are the Challenges in Developing Enhanced Catalytic Materials?
Despite their potential, developing enhanced materials for catalysis is not without challenges:
- Scalability: Producing these materials on a large scale can be difficult and expensive. - Durability: Ensuring that the materials maintain their enhanced properties over time and through multiple reaction cycles. - Cost: Some enhanced materials, such as those based on precious metals, can be prohibitively expensive. - Environmental Impact: The production and disposal of these materials must be managed to minimize environmental harm.
