What Solutions Exist to Mitigate Low Humidity Effects?
Several strategies can be employed to mitigate the adverse effects of low humidity on conductivity in catalytic systems:
Hydrophilic Additives: Incorporating hydrophilic additives can help retain water molecules within the catalytic material, thus improving conductivity at low humidity. Ionic Liquids: These can be used as alternatives to water because they remain in the liquid state over a wide range of conditions and can sustain high ionic conductivity. Advanced Membrane Materials: Developing new membrane materials that are less dependent on water for proton conduction can also be an effective strategy. Humidity Control: Implementing humidity control systems within the catalytic device can help maintain optimal moisture levels.
