What are the Challenges in Developing Selective Catalysts?
Developing selective catalysts involves several challenges:
Understanding Reaction Mechanisms: A deep understanding of the reaction mechanisms and the nature of active sites is essential for designing selective catalysts. Stability: Catalysts must maintain their activity and selectivity over extended periods and under harsh reaction conditions. Scalability: Processes optimized in the laboratory must be scalable to industrial levels without losing efficiency or selectivity. Cost: The catalyst materials and synthesis methods should be cost-effective for commercial viability.
