and thus to a carbon-free economy. A team of researchers led by the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung has discovered why these catalysts actually deteriorate and suffer from a shorter life expectancy.
"Our findings revealed that impurities do get introduced during synthesis. Surprisingly, we discovered that boron impurities could enhance the catalyst's performance by expanding its lattice structure. However, we observed that thedecreases after a certain amount of hydrogen is produced and wanted to understand why this happens to find ways to maintain the performance," explains Prof.
