Microkinetic modeling is a complex task and comes with several challenges:
- Complex Reaction Networks: Catalytic processes often involve a large number of elementary steps, making the reaction network highly complex and difficult to model accurately.
- Parameter Sensitivity: The accuracy of a microkinetic model heavily depends on the kinetic parameters. Small errors in these parameters can lead to significant deviations in the model predictions.
- Computational Resources: Solving the set of coupled differential equations for a large reaction network can be computationally intensive and time-consuming.
