During formal consultations, several critical questions should be addressed:
What is the desired outcome of the catalytic process? Define the goals, whether it’s increased yield, reduced energy consumption, or improved selectivity. What are the current limitations? Identify any challenges or inefficiencies in the existing catalytic system. What are the potential solutions? Discuss possible approaches, including the development of new catalysts or the modification of current ones. What are the evaluation criteria? Establish metrics for assessing the success of proposed solutions, such as activity, stability, and cost-effectiveness.
