Researchers develop world’s most durable hydrogen fuel cell

Nanowerk  July 2, 2022 An international team of researchers (Hong Kong, USA – Argonne National Laboratory, China, Morocco) has designed a hybrid electrocatalyst that consists of atomically dispersed Pt and Fe single atoms and Pt–Fe alloy nanoparticles. Its Pt mass activity is 3.7 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C in a fuel cell. The fuel cell with a low Pt loading in the cathode shows an excellent durability, with a 97% activity retention after 100,000 cycles and no noticeable current drop at 0.6 V for over 200 hours. These results highlight the importance of the synergistic effects among active sites in […]
