Catalysts improve battery performance in several ways:
Increased Reaction Rates: Catalysts lower the activation energy required for electrochemical reactions, allowing for faster charging and discharging. Enhanced Capacity: By facilitating efficient reactions, catalysts can help achieve higher energy densities. Longevity: Catalysts can reduce the degradation of battery materials, thereby extending the life of the battery. Thermal Stability: Certain catalysts can improve the thermal stability of batteries, making them safer for various applications.
