Sadly, this won’t go anywhere now for the same reason it didn’t go anywhere for the 10 times it has been proposed before. It looks great on first look but longevity is amazingly low and likely will require purchasing of catalyst less than a year after first use. I’m sure investors loved that part of the pitch but compared to current fan tech, with good static pressure, there’s no way someone with half a brain would chuck this in their laptop. And that’s before considering the rest of the downsides.
Highly suspect this account is part of some kind of influencer marketing bundle. On lemmy, such amount of upvotes for a completely wrong post is unusual given the population around here.

What catalyst? There’s no chemical process here.
Manganese dioxide is used to decompose ozone. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1001074222005083

It uses an MnO2 catalyst plus a non disclosed tech which will absolutely not last a year if the laptop is used for anything more than web browsing or happens to be used, you know, on your lap.
Looking forward to be wrong on this one, except, I won’t.
Oh, to compensate for generated ozone. I suppose that would depend on how quickly it’s depleted.
Possibly to deal with the ozone things like this can produce.
