What Role Do Catalysts Play in Minimizing Energy Loss?
Well-designed catalysts can significantly minimize energy loss by lowering the activation energy required for a chemical reaction, thus making the process more energy-efficient. Advanced catalysts are engineered to have high selectivity and activity, ensuring that a higher proportion of the input energy is directed towards the desired reaction pathway. For example, catalysts with nanostructured surfaces can offer more active sites, reducing energy loss.
