It is hypothetical until you try it. It may be that the conditions
which they think will increase the COP actual decrease the COP.
Okay, hypothetical. But the methods have been common knowledge since
around 1840, and I doubt you will find many people who do not believe
they work. They work only a little, however. The COP cannot be
improved enough to make a practical device, or any useful difference.
If you doubt that the textbook methods of improving electrochemical
efficiency work, I suggest you do some electrochemistry yourself.
Calling these methods hypothetical is like saying that Faraday's laws
are hypothetical, and you will not believe that coulumbs = amps *
seconds until I prove it to you. Go test it yourself.
