Performance: The catalyst must offer superior
performance compared to existing alternatives, such as higher reaction rates, better selectivity, and longer lifespan.
Cost: The cost of the catalyst and the overall process should be competitive. This includes the initial investment, operating costs, and potential savings from increased efficiency.
Scalability: The catalytic process must be scalable to industrial levels. This involves considerations of production methods, raw material availability, and ease of integration into existing systems.
Environmental Impact: Increasingly, market acceptance depends on the
environmental benefits of the catalytic process, such as reduced emissions, lower energy consumption, and minimal waste production.
Regulatory Compliance: The catalyst and process must meet
regulatory standards and safety requirements.
