What Are the Challenges in Integrating Experimental and Theoretical Catalysis?
One of the primary challenges in integrating experimental and theoretical catalysis is the complexity of real-world systems. Theoretical models often rely on simplified assumptions that may not capture all the nuances of the actual catalytic process. Discrepancies between experimental data and theoretical predictions can arise due to factors such as impurities, catalyst deactivation, and mass transfer limitations. Bridging this gap requires continuous refinement of both experimental techniques and theoretical models.
