Development of new catalyst for hydrogen fuel cells

Education and Research

Education and Research

Materials used in fuel cells to facilitate the electrochemical reactions that produce electrical power.

A technology that combines hydrogen and oxygen in a clean, electrochemical process to generate power, releasing only water vapor as a byproduct.

New South Wales

Research project by University of New South Wales to develop an inexpensive hydrogen fuel cell catalyst using iron, nickel, and copper as alternatives to platinum-based catalysts.

A new hydrogen fuel cell catalyst composed of iron, nickel, and copper that eliminates the need for expensive platinum while maintaining or improving efficiency. Currently in research and testing phase, not yet commercialized.
