What are the Key Challenges in Material Discovery for Catalysis?
Despite the advancements, several challenges remain in the discovery of new catalytic materials. One major challenge is the complexity of catalytic systems, which often involve multiple steps and intermediates. Predicting the behavior of these systems requires a deep understanding of both the thermodynamics and kinetics of the reactions involved. Additionally, the stability and scalability of new materials must be considered, as many promising catalysts may degrade or become deactivated under practical operating conditions.
