Thanks, I am going to read about this. The term "catalytic converter" comes up when I google oxidizing catalyst. I may ask more questions later. Interesting I know that ASAP claims their Ag4O4 has "catalytic capabilities". Maybe I will figure out what that means soon too. I'm writing an "In Vivo" section of a CS book, so I really want to get into the fine details.
