Understanding and managing synthesis complexity is crucial for several reasons:
Performance: The structural and chemical properties of a catalyst are directly influenced by its synthesis method. Optimizing synthesis can lead to catalysts with superior performance. Scalability: Industrial applications require catalysts that can be synthesized on a large scale without compromising their properties. Simplifying synthesis pathways can facilitate this scalability. Sustainability: Environmentally friendly and cost-effective synthesis methods are essential for the development of sustainable catalytic processes.
