A more cost -
effective fuel cell catalyst material consisting of iron - nitrogen complexes embedded in tiny islands of graphene could be used in place of platinum.
Creating bare, two - metal particles provides insights into potential substitutes for costly platinum in fuel cell catalysts
«While this catalyst combination has been used previously in aerobic oxidations, we didn't know if it would be a
good fuel cell catalyst,» Stahl says.
A team of chemists from the University of Wisconsin - Madison has introduced a
new fuel cell catalyst approach that uses a molecular catalyst system instead of solid catalysts.
Building on previous studies, the Los Alamos - led team has synthesized catalysts comprising low - cost platinum alternatives that yield performance comparable to the standard
PGM fuel cell catalyst used in vehicle applications.
His patent experience covers a broad range of technical disciplines, including food technology, agriscience, biotechnology, organic chemistry,
fuel cell catalyst technology, rechargeable battery technology, silicon wafer technology, nuclear medical materials, polymer technology, solder alloys, and metal plating technology.
Effective insulators, they are used in wet suits, firefighting gear, windows, paints and
in fuel cell catalysts.
She has extensive research experience in the development and application of novel electron microscopy techniques for energy materials, such as lithium ion battery materials and
fuel cell catalysts.
