Several key parameters are critical in iterative testing to evaluate and improve catalysts:
- Activity: The rate at which a catalyst accelerates a chemical reaction. - Selectivity: The ability of a catalyst to direct a reaction towards a specific product, minimizing byproducts. - Stability: The durability and longevity of a catalyst over extended use. - Regeneration: The capability of a catalyst to be restored to its original state after a decline in performance.
These parameters are carefully monitored and optimized during iterative testing.
