What are the Challenges in Innovative Catalyst Design?
Despite the progress, several challenges remain in innovative catalyst design. These include: 1. Scalability: Transitioning from laboratory-scale to industrial-scale production while maintaining catalyst performance. 2. Stability: Ensuring that catalysts remain active and selective over long periods and under harsh reaction conditions. 3. Cost: Developing cost-effective catalysts, particularly for large-scale industrial applications. 4. Environmental Impact: Designing catalysts that minimize environmental harm throughout their lifecycle, from production to disposal.
