What are the Challenges in Catalysis for Portable Power?
Several challenges must be addressed to optimize catalysis for portable power applications. These include:
- Durability: Catalysts must maintain their activity over long periods and under varying operational conditions. - Cost: The high cost of some catalytic materials, especially precious metals, can be a barrier to widespread adoption. - Scalability: The ability to produce catalysts at a scale that meets global demand without compromising quality or performance is crucial. - Environmental Impact: The development of catalysts with low environmental impact, both in terms of production and disposal, is increasingly important.
