Fuel Cell Breakthrough Lowers Costs And Ups Capacity

University of Delaware (UD) scientists have created a new
technology that could make fuel cells cheaper and more durable.
Hydrogen-powered fuel cells are a green alternative to internal
combustion engines because they produce power through
electrochemical reactions, leaving no pollution behind and are far
more efficient. Platinum is the most common catalyst in the type of
fuel cells used in vehicles, but it’s expensive. The UD team used a
novel method to come up with a less expensive catalyst that could
speed up the commercialization of fuel…
