Using an inexpensive polymer called melamine, researchers from UC Berkeley, Texas A&M and Stanford have created a cheap, easy and energy-efficient way to capture carbon dioxide from smokestacks. The low cost of porous melamine means that the material could be deployed widely. Haiyan Mao et al.

Nevertheless, because of the scarcity and cost of Pt, a more abundant alternative is needed for cost-effective implementation. The Texas Advanced Computing Center also added value. The most common example of this is platinum (Pt), which has served as the benchmark catalyst for HER due to its high catalytic efficiency.

However, wide scale adoption of β-titanium alloys in transportation applications has been limited due to its high cost. The cost of β-titanium alloys can be lowered by replacing the expensive β stabilizers such as Mo, Cr and V (in full or in part) by low cost Fe such as the case in Ti–1Al–8V–5Fe (Ti-185) alloy introduced in 1960s.
