And its cost.
Or more generally, where the catalyst sits in the supply chain (how easy it is to produce at scale, can it be recycled, is it expensive, what is the waste management for it, etc...)
- londons_explore 3y ago1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium-functionalized Mo3P nanoparticles don't sound very off-the-shelf...
- bluGill 3y agoThe question is can we make it cheaply enough at the required scale. Lots of things area off the shelf today that were not in the past. Other things used to be common and are not made anymore.
- biomcgary 3y agoChemistry can sound complex, but the compound mentioned is relatively simple for an organic chemist. Metal nanoparticles are fairly routine. Since this is a catalyst, not that much would be needed (relative to the likely difficulty of making it). Probably a rounding error in terms of the expense of the entire system.
- sschueller 3y agoHow much CO2 is generated to make one is the other question.
