New Material Solutions (NMS)
New MaterialSolution
Preparing is
- Costfull- No tabulated data available
- Stability and long-term propertiesare not exatly known
- Limited standards
How new material solutions arecoming to market?
After Gerd Ceder (MIT); materials information from T. W. Eagarand M. King, Technology Review 98 (2), 42 (1995).Catalysis information from R. Schrock et al. and R. Adzic et al.

Active material
What is the activity of the catalyst?- As it is (activity for the reaction)- Activity in an application
Short term activity (for 10 of cycles…)-> is it useful?
Commercial state-of-art in use
