They talk about a catalyst for fuel cells not really for wood stoves. Your posting would probably be better suited for the Green Room.
Not sure if this technology will eventually apply to wood stoves. Wood gas is pretty dirty stuff compared to natural gas in a fuel cell. I think palladium is the typically used in stove cats. It would be nice if it did though. Graphene is amazing stuff.
"Platinum and/or palladium are the catalytic substances in Condar combustors. These precious metals are applied to the honeycomb of the combustor (either ceramic or steel), using a patented washcoat technology"

Saw platinum and thought it might transition over to wood stoves eventually.
