What are the Challenges in Using Nanoparticles in Catalysis?
Despite their advantages, the use of nanoparticles in catalysis presents several challenges:
Stability: Nanoparticles can agglomerate or sinter at high temperatures, leading to a loss of surface area and catalytic activity. Scalability: Producing nanoparticles consistently and in large quantities can be difficult and costly. Environmental and Health Concerns: The potential toxicity and environmental impact of nanoparticles are areas of ongoing research and regulation.
