Catalysts can only accelerate reactions that can be carried out thermodynamically. When asked to develop a catalyst for a new chemical reaction, the first step is to perform a thermodynamic analysis of the reaction to see if it is a thermodynamically feasible reaction.
Catalysts can only accelerate the reaction to equilibrium and cannot change the equilibrium position (equilibrium constant) of the reaction.
The catalyst is selective to the reaction. When the reaction may have more than one different direction, the catalyst only accelerates one of them, and the reaction rate and selectivity are unified.

According to the definition and characteristic analysis of catalysts, there are three important catalyst indicators: activity, selectivity, and stability.
