Collaborative projects are essential in catalysis for several reasons:
1. Multidisciplinary Expertise: Catalysis involves a combination of chemistry, physics, materials science, and engineering. Collaboration allows for the integration of diverse skills and knowledge. 2. Resource Sharing: High-end analytical tools, computational resources, and specialized facilities can be expensive. Collaborative projects enable shared access to these resources. 3. Innovation Acceleration: Combining different perspectives and expertise often leads to innovative solutions that might not emerge in isolated research environments.
