What Challenges Exist in Utilizing Redox Properties in Catalysis?
Despite their advantages, there are challenges in utilizing redox properties in catalysis:
Selectivity: Achieving high selectivity in redox reactions can be challenging due to the multiple possible oxidation states. Deactivation: Redox-active catalysts can undergo deactivation due to changes in their oxidation state or surface composition. Reproducibility: Variability in redox properties can lead to inconsistent catalytic performance.
