New Catalyst Makes a Combined Battery Fuel Cell Possible
November 23, 2021 | Leave a Comment
A Washington University in St. Louis team has developed a catalyst that can be used to both generate fuel and provide power. A single device that both generates hydrogen fuel and oxidant from water and, when a switch is flipped, converts the fuel and oxygen into electricity and water, has a host of benefits for […]
