Several challenges exist in the field of CO2 reduction catalysis:
Selectivity: Achieving high selectivity for the desired product is difficult, as CO2 can be reduced to multiple products. Stability: Catalysts often suffer from deactivation over time, which affects their long-term efficiency. Efficiency: High energy input is often required, which can make the process less economically viable. Scalability: Developing processes that can be scaled up to industrial levels remains a significant hurdle.
