Scientists Boost Catalytic Activity for Key Chemical Reaction in Fuel Cells

Now, scientists from a U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, California State University–Northridge, Soochow University, Peking University, and Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics have grown catalysts that can bear 50,000 voltage cycles with a immaterial spoil in their catalytic activity and no apparent changes in their structure or component composition. As described in a paper published in a Dec 16 emanate of Science, a catalysts are “nanoplates” that enclose an atomically systematic Pt and lead (Pb) core surrounded by a thick uniform bombard of 4 Pt layers.
