Development of a low-cost, non-metal catalyst for hydrogen fuel cells

Education and Research

Education and Research

Electrochemical devices that convert hydrogen and oxygen into electricity to power electric motors in aircraft.

Catalysts made from elements other than metals, in this case, nitroxyls, which are being explored as a cheaper alternative to platinum.

Substances that increase the rate of a chemical reaction without themselves undergoing any permanent chemical change. In fuel cells, they are essential for producing hydrogen gas.
