Despite its advantages, molecular design in catalysis faces several challenges:
- Complexity of Systems: Catalytic systems can be highly complex, making it difficult to predict how changes at the molecular level will affect overall performance.
- Scale of Application: Translating molecular design from small-scale laboratory settings to industrial applications can be challenging due to differences in conditions and requirements.
- Stability and Durability: Designing catalysts that maintain their activity and selectivity over time and under various conditions is a significant challenge.
