Several factors influence the compatibility between catalysts and electrodes:
Material Properties: The intrinsic properties of both the catalyst and electrode materials, such as conductivity, surface area, and porosity. Chemical Stability: The stability of both materials in the operational environment, including resistance to corrosion and oxidation. Mechanical Stability: The ability to withstand physical stresses and maintain structural integrity. Interfacial Properties: The interaction at the catalyst-electrode interface, including adhesion and the formation of any interfacial layers.
