What Are the Key Criteria for Selecting Standards?
The selection of standards in catalysis involves several important criteria:
1. Reproducibility: The standard should produce consistent results under the same conditions. 2. Stability: It should remain chemically and physically stable over time. 3. Availability: The material should be readily available and not prohibitively expensive. 4. Relevance: The standard should be relevant to the specific reaction or process being studied. 5. Characterization: It should be well-characterized with comprehensive data available.
