: too specific, i.e. taking an unnecessary risk//nothing in the German that says it's about speeding up a reaction, which is why I think "catalyst" is taking an unnecessary risk// changed to "neutral", though I don't know where you get your "precipitates"

an additive used in an electrolyte, a thing that precipitates an event. Also an enhancing agent. Are you still not convinced Cilian?
