Liquid platinum catalyst over 1,000 times more efficient

 

Liquid platinum at room temperature: The 'cool' catalyst for a sustainable revolution in industrial chemistry

To create an effective catalyst, the researchers needed to use a ratio of less than 0.0001 platinum to gallium. And most remarkably of all, the resulting system proved to be over 1,000 times more efficient than its solid-state rival (the one that needed to be around 10% expensive platinum to work)
