Rational catalyst design is crucial for several reasons:
Efficiency: It allows for the development of catalysts that are more efficient, reducing energy consumption and improving yield in chemical reactions. Cost-effectiveness: By designing catalysts that use cheaper and more abundant materials, it helps in cutting down the cost of industrial processes. Sustainability: It facilitates the creation of green catalysts that are environmentally friendly and sustainable. Targeted Performance: It enables the tailoring of catalysts for specific reactions, enhancing selectivity and reducing by-products.
