During the screening process, several key properties of catalysts are evaluated:
1. Activity: The ability of a catalyst to increase the rate of a chemical reaction. 2. Selectivity: The ability to direct a reaction towards a specific product, minimizing the formation of undesired by-products. 3. Stability: The catalyst's resistance to deactivation over time, which is critical for long-term industrial applications. 4. Regenerability: The ability to restore the catalyst's activity after deactivation through regeneration processes.
