Maximizing catalyst activity means that you literally get more catalyzing action per unit of catalyst used...
This brings a multitude of benefits to fuel cell design. Higher activity can mean that less catalyst is needed—which may allow the reactor to be smaller, lighter and possibly even less expensive to manufacture!
Optimizing activity is always one of Süd-Chemie's primary objectives when we create a new catalyst. And we have developed many innovative ways to boost activity. Employing precious metals in the formulations is just one of those ways.
