What are the Challenges in Using Microwave Absorptive Materials in Catalysis?
Despite their advantages, there are several challenges associated with the use of microwave absorptive materials in catalysis:
- Material stability: Some materials may degrade or lose their absorptive properties at high temperatures or under harsh reaction conditions. - Uniform heating: Achieving uniform heating can be difficult, especially in large-scale applications, which can lead to hot spots and uneven reaction rates. - Cost: High-quality microwave absorptive materials can be expensive, which may limit their widespread use in industrial applications.
