can I grab electrical energy from a car catalyst? do the reactions produce electricity?

Well, do you understand that a catalyst is just one component of the catalytic converter? :)fysik said:is it so hard to understand that I am talking about the catalytic converter or however else you want to call it?
ok, but you have to admit that it's the most important part and the functional partnasu said:Well, do you understand that a catalyst is just one component of the catalytic converter? :)
That doesn't necessarily mean that you'll be able to get electricity from it.fysik said:ok, but you have to admit that it's the most important part and the functional part
Yes, a car catalyst can produce electricity through a process called thermoelectricity. This is when a temperature difference is created between two sides of the catalyst, causing electrons to flow and generating an electric current.
The amount of electricity generated from a car catalyst depends on various factors such as the size and efficiency of the catalyst, the temperature difference, and the materials used. On average, a car catalyst can produce around 1-5 watts of electricity.
Currently, it is not cost-effective to use a car catalyst solely for electricity generation. However, some researchers are exploring ways to improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of using car catalysts for this purpose.
Yes, using a car catalyst for electricity generation can have environmental benefits. It can reduce the amount of energy needed from traditional power sources, which can help to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change.
Yes, car catalysts can be used in hybrid and electric vehicles to generate electricity. This can help to extend the driving range of these vehicles and reduce the need for frequent charging.
