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 […]
