What are the Challenges in Catalytic Converter Technology?
Despite their effectiveness, catalytic converters face several challenges:
1. Temperature Range: Catalysts need to operate efficiently within a specific temperature range. Too low or too high temperatures can impact performance. 2. Poisoning: Certain substances, like lead or sulfur, can "poison" the catalyst, reducing its effectiveness. 3. Durability: Over time, the catalyst may degrade, necessitating replacement.
