Abstract
A catalyst system comprising a heat exchanger and a thermoelectric material for changing a rate of a chemical reaction,
wherein: the catalyst system comprises a reaction surface, and a first portion of the thermoelectric material is arranged to be nearer
to the reaction surface than a second portion of the thermoelectric material; and the heat exchanger is arranged to produce a spatial
temperature difference between the first portion and the second portion of the thermoelectric material, whereby the thermoelectric
material alters an activation energy on the reaction surface to change the rate of the chemical reaction.
