What Are the Challenges in Reducing Catalytic Reaction Times?
Despite advancements, several challenges remain:
Deactivation: Catalysts often lose activity over time due to poisoning, fouling, or sintering, which can increase reaction times. Side Reactions: Unwanted side reactions can consume reactants and slow down the desired reaction. Scalability: Conditions optimized in a laboratory setting may not directly translate to industrial scales, leading to inefficiencies.
