Question about catalysts

I've come back to PoE after a long break, and there are all these new mechanics and currencies I don't fully understand, and you can understand only so much from reading tooltips and forums.

I couldn't find a list of what catalyst affects what suffix/prefix/implicit/explicit anywhere, nor any special cases regarding uniques. I also don't feel like wasting a ton of orbs to find out.

In particular, I want to use Turbulent Catalysts on my ring to increase the percentage of physical to chaos added damage, but I don't even know if it will be affected? Any clarification and/or links to a datasheet would be much appreciated.
Thanks

EDIT:
turns out chaos is not elemental so I should be using Noxious catalysts, and on the wiki those have a list, and an explanation https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Noxious_Catalyst

Turbulent catalyst: Adds quality that enhances Elemental Damage modifiers on a ring, amulet or belt

mings heart - Gain 20% of Physical Damage as Extra Chaos Damage


Neither physical nor chaos is 'elemental damage'. Turbulent do NOTHING here.

you want "noxious" catalysts - Adds quality that enhances Physical and Chaos Damage modifiers


and yes, i got all of that from just reading the tooltips on each catalyst.
The Catalyst section of the wiki will tell you what each Catalyst enhances. Noxious buffs physical and chaos modifiers.

20% quality with a Catalyst makes all relevant mods 20% better as well as 20% more likely to roll. If you have 20% physical damage as extra chaos damage, with Noxious 20% you will have 24%.

Catalysts no longer affect the chances of rolling related modifiers on jewellery through crafting, and Quality on jewellery is no longer removed when crafting with specific Currency.
