What are the Key Considerations in Developing Catalytic Materials?
Several factors must be considered when developing new catalytic materials:
Activity: The material's ability to increase reaction rates. Selectivity: The degree to which the catalyst favors the formation of the desired product over undesired by-products. Stability: The resistance of the catalyst to deactivation over time. Cost: The economic feasibility of producing and using the catalyst. Environmental impact: The sustainability and ecological footprint of the catalyst material.
