What are the Challenges in Nanoparticle Catalysis?
Despite their advantages, nanoparticle catalysts face several challenges:
Stability: Nanoparticles can agglomerate, losing their high surface area and catalytic activity. Scalability: Producing nanoparticles on a large scale while maintaining their quality is difficult. Reusability: Ensuring that nanoparticles can be easily recovered and reused without significant loss of activity. Environmental Impact: The synthesis and disposal of nanoparticles can have environmental ramifications.
