Several factors can influence reproducibility in catalysis, including:
Catalyst preparation: The method of catalyst synthesis can significantly impact its properties and performance. Reaction conditions: Variables such as temperature, pressure, and reactant concentrations must be precisely controlled. Characterization techniques: Inconsistent or imprecise measurement techniques can lead to variations in reported results. Experimental design: Properly designed experiments are critical for obtaining reproducible data. Human error: Errors in following protocols or recording data can also impact reproducibility.
