What future trends could alleviate economic constraints in catalysis?
Several future trends hold promise for alleviating economic constraints in catalysis. The development of nanocatalysts with enhanced activity and selectivity can improve process efficiency and reduce material costs. Advances in computational modeling and machine learning can optimize catalyst design and predict performance, reducing the need for expensive trial-and-error experimentation. Additionally, the growing emphasis on sustainable chemistry and the circular economy can drive the adoption of more economical and environmentally friendly catalytic processes.
