Scientists from around the world have joined forces to develop a revolutionary new material that could help reduce degradation of carbon-based catalysts. The new material, which is funded by the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 programme, will be used to create more efficient and cost-effective catalysts to help reduce emissions from vehicles and industry. The teams will use a combination of advanced materials science, surface chemistry, and nanotechnology to develop the new material. The material will be designed to help reduce the production of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, and to help reduce the amount of energy required to process materials. The new material could also reduce the amount of waste generated in production. By improving the efficiency of catalysts, the teams hope to help reduce the environmental impact of the production of materials.
