Despite the advantages, there are several challenges associated with nanocatalysis:
Stability: Nanoparticles tend to agglomerate, reducing their surface area and catalytic activity. Stabilizing agents or supports are often required to maintain their dispersion. Scalability: Producing nanocatalysts on an industrial scale while maintaining their unique properties can be challenging. Cost: The synthesis of nanocatalysts often involves expensive materials and processes, which can limit their commercial viability. Environmental impact: The potential toxicity and environmental impact of nanomaterials need to be thoroughly assessed.
