What are the Challenges in Using UTMs for Catalysis Research?
Using UTMs in catalysis research comes with specific challenges:
Sample Preparation: Preparing homogeneous and representative samples of catalysts can be difficult. Environmental Conditions: Replicating the exact operational conditions (temperature, pressure, chemical environment) in a UTM can be challenging. Interpretation: Correlating mechanical properties with catalytic performance requires an interdisciplinary understanding of both material science and catalysis.
