Gatalo's second innovation utilizing nanotechnology to achieve approximately a hundredfold increase in production efficiency compared to conventional laboratory methods.

Gatalo's first innovation: a black powder catalyst that replaces approximately half the platinum with cheaper copper, achieving two times lower cost and three to four times higher efficiency than existing catalysts.

Traditional catalyst used in hydrogen fuel cells that withstands harsh vehicle operating conditions but is expensive due to platinum's scarcity.
