The evaluation of catalysts is based on several key criteria:
Activity: The ability of the catalyst to accelerate the reaction rate. Selectivity: The ability of the catalyst to direct the reaction towards the desired product while minimizing by-products. Stability: The catalyst's resistance to deactivation over time and under reaction conditions. Cost: The economic feasibility of using the catalyst on an industrial scale. Environmental impact: The sustainability and eco-friendliness of the catalyst.
