What are the Challenges in Using NIL for Catalysis?
Despite its advantages, NIL also faces several challenges: - Template Fabrication: Creating the initial template with the desired pattern can be complex and time-consuming. - Material Compatibility: Not all catalytic materials are compatible with NIL processes, which can limit its application. - Durability: Repeated use of NIL-patterned catalysts may lead to wear and degradation of the patterns, affecting performance over time.
