Several factors contribute to the emergence of inconsistent standards in catalysis:
Diverse Objectives: Researchers may have different goals, leading to the use of varied approaches and metrics. Complexity of Catalytic Systems: Catalytic reactions often involve intricate mechanisms that can be influenced by numerous variables. Lack of Unified Protocols: The absence of standardized protocols for catalyst testing and characterization can result in diverse methodologies. Variability in Materials: The properties of catalysts can vary based on their source, synthesis method, and treatment, leading to inconsistencies.
