Several factors can influence the cost of catalysts:
Raw Materials: The cost of the raw materials used to produce catalysts, such as precious metals (e.g., platinum, palladium), can be high. Manufacturing Process: The complexity and efficiency of the manufacturing process can affect the cost. Lifetime and Durability: Catalysts that have a longer lifetime and higher durability can be more cost-effective in the long run. Recycling and Regeneration: The ability to recycle and regenerate catalysts can reduce costs.
