A Self Oxygen Protected Fuel Cell

March 22, 2018 | Leave a Comment

Small traces of oxygen can deactivate the molecular catalysts that are incorporated in fuel cells. A team of researchers from the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB), the Max-Planck-Institute for Energy Conversion in Mülheim and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratories in Washington, U.S.A., is able to equip such a catalyst with a self-defense mechanism against molecular oxygen. Hydrogen […]

Molecular Catalysts Offer New Promise for Fuel Cells

July 29, 2015 | Leave a Comment

University of Wisconsin-Madison (UWM) chemists have introduced a new fuel cell catalyst approach that uses a molecular catalyst system instead of solid catalysts. The team is on a quest for better, less expensive ways to store and use energy where platinum and other precious metals play an important role. Platinum and other precious metals serve […]
