What is the Role of Catalysis in Hybrid and Electric Vehicles?
While hybrid and electric vehicles (EVs) rely less on traditional combustion engines, catalysis still plays a role. For instance, hybrid vehicles often use regenerative braking, which can incorporate catalytic materials to manage heat and energy conversion. In fuel cell EVs, catalysts are crucial in the fuel cell stack to facilitate the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, producing electricity with water as the only by-product.
