Question

Difference b/w chemical catalysts and electrochemical catalyst

Answer 1

Answer:

An electrocatalyst is a catalyst that participates in electrochemical reactions. Catalyst materials modify and increase the rate of chemical reactions without being consumed in the process. Electrocatalysts are a specific form of catalysts that function at electrode surfaces or may be the electrode surface itself.

Answer 2

$\huge{\underline{\tt{Chemical\:Catalysts:-}}}$

Catalysts called enzymes are important in biology. A catalyst works by providing an alternative reaction pathway to the reaction product. The rate of the reaction is increased as this alternative route has a lower activation energy than the reaction route not mediated by the catalyst.
