What Are the Challenges in Using Pristine Graphene for Catalysis?
Despite its advantages, there are several challenges associated with using pristine graphene in catalysis: - Scalability: Producing high-quality pristine graphene at a large scale remains challenging and expensive. - Functionalization: Pristine graphene’s chemical inertness can sometimes limit its interaction with certain reactants, necessitating surface functionalization. - Aggregation: Tendency to aggregate, which can reduce the effective surface area available for catalysis.
