Promising fuel cell advance uses nanotech and much less platinum

Scientists at Brown University and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed nanoparticles with a palladium core and an iron-platinum shell that can outperform commercially available platinum fuel cell catalysts. Most current fuel cells use platinum as the catalyst, which is what breaks the fuel down into electricity. But platinum not only is Related posts: Platinum-free fuel cell developed in Japan Gore-tex based new cheaper fuel cell breakthrough eliminates need for platinum Toyota planning $50,000 fuel cell car in 2015

New Platinum Could Mean Cheaper, More Efficient Fuel Cells

Fuel cells are clean and green cells. They work without polluting the environment. Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that transform the chemical energy of a fuel into electricity generating water as a by-product. Fuel cells are most used in space flights but they can be best utilized in electric vehicles to reduce air pollution. Posted in: Fuel Cells , Hydrogen Fuel , Inventions
