What are the Challenges in Utilizing Plasmonic Catalysts?
Despite their potential, there are several challenges in utilizing plasmonic catalysts:
- Stability: Plasmonic materials, especially under reaction conditions, can suffer from deactivation and degradation. - Scalability: The fabrication and deployment of plasmonic catalysts on an industrial scale remain challenging. - Cost: Many plasmonic materials involve expensive metals like gold and silver, which can limit their widespread application.
