Platinum Lead Fuel Cell Catalyst Clears 50,000 Cycles

December 20, 2016 | 2 Comments

Scientists have developed catalysts that can undergo 50,000 voltage cycles with a negligible decay in their catalytic activity and no apparent changes in their structure or elemental composition. The new catalysts containing platinum and lead could improve the efficiency of fuel cells – a promising technology for producing clean energy. The scientists from the U.S. […]

New Non Metallic Fuel Cell Catalyst

March 5, 2015 | Leave a Comment

Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) researchers have made an inexpensive metal-free catalyst. The new catalyst performs as well as costly metal catalysts at speeding the oxygen reduction reaction in an acidic fuel cell, and is more durable. The study was recently published online in the journal Science Advances. The carbon based catalyst is made of […]
