Precious metals are used for the production of conventional catalysts. However, these are usually extracted under ecologically questionable conditions. The poor availability and high prices of the precious metals make production difficult. In order to be able to offer alternatives for the required precious metals, the founders of xemX use an AI technology. They discover metal alloys that can be used instead of conventional metals. With this, they develop their own catalysts.
