Various types of evidence are employed in catalysis research and application. These include:
1. Experimental Data: Results from laboratory experiments that provide insight into the performance of different catalysts under specific conditions. 2. Computational Studies: Simulations and molecular modeling that predict the behavior of catalysts at the atomic level. 3. Literature Reviews: Comprehensive analyses of existing research that summarize findings and highlight trends. 4. Field Trials: Real-world testing of catalysts in industrial settings to validate laboratory results. 5. Benchmarking: Comparing new catalysts against established standards to evaluate improvements.
