What are the Challenges in Using TMDs for Catalysis?
1. Scalability: While synthesis methods are improving, producing large quantities of high-quality TMDs remains a challenge. 2. Stability: Despite their inherent stability, some TMDs may degrade under extreme catalytic conditions. 3. Cost: Some transition metals used in TMDs can be expensive, impacting the overall cost of the catalyst. 4. Understanding Mechanisms: Comprehensive understanding of the catalytic mechanisms at the atomic level is still evolving, requiring advanced characterization techniques.
