The phrase
"catalyst performance" refers to how well a catalyst (a substance that speeds up chemical reactions) works in promoting or accelerating a certain chemical reaction. It basically measures how effective a catalyst is at making reactions happen faster.
Full definition
The scientists also tested the MoSoy catalyst anchored on sheets of graphene — an approach that has proven effective for
enhancing catalyst performance in electrochemical devices such as batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, and water electrolyzers.
This new development enables Mazda to reduce the amount of expensive precious metals such as platinum and palladium by 70 to 90 percent without
impairing catalyst performance.
Detailed in the Nov. 23 edition of Scientific Reports, their study provides new insight about coke formation, both inside and on the surface of the catalyst, that could aid researchers in designing new catalysts or otherwise changing the chemical components and parameters to improve
catalyst performance.
This finding broadens chemists» understanding of catalysis and may lead to ways of improving
catalyst performance.
