Several factors contribute to experimental variability in catalysis:
Catalyst preparation: Differences in the synthesis, activation, and conditioning of catalysts can lead to variations in their properties and performance. Reaction conditions: Variations in temperature, pressure, concentration, and flow rates can affect reaction outcomes. Measurement techniques: Inconsistencies in analytical methods, such as spectroscopy or chromatography, can introduce variability. Data analysis: Different approaches to data processing and interpretation can lead to varying conclusions.
