What are the Sources of Uncertainties in Catalysis?
Uncertainties in catalysis can arise from several sources:
1. Experimental Data: Inconsistent or incomplete data can lead to uncertainties. 2. Model Parameters: Variability in parameters such as temperature, pressure, and concentration. 3. Computational Methods: Approximations and assumptions in computational models. 4. Reaction Mechanisms: Incomplete understanding of the steps in catalytic processes. 5. Material Properties: Variability in the properties of catalysts, such as surface area and active sites.
