Catalyst testing standards ensure that the performance of catalysts is evaluated under consistent and controlled conditions. These standards include:
1. Reaction Conditions: Specifying the temperature, pressure, and reactant concentrations. 2. Catalyst Loading: Defining the amount of catalyst used relative to the reactants. 3. Activity Measurement: Methods for quantifying catalytic activity, such as turnover frequency (TOF) and turnover number (TON). 4. Selectivity: Assessing the ability of the catalyst to produce the desired product preferentially.
