"liquid metals catalysts reduce chemical industry's energy consumption which is currently >10% percent of world’s total energy... solid catalysts require high temperatures, up to 1K°C, to work effectively... so, replace solid catalysts with liquid metals with lower melting points and mobility... liquid metals can catalyze chemical reactions at much lower temperatures, saving energy"
