Abstract:In fuel cells chemical energy is directly converted into electricity. Based on this, fuel cells are attractive for automotive propulsion. However, a major drawback that hinders the widespread use of fuel cells are the costs. A major cost contributor in today’s state of the art fuel cells is the catalyst; namely platinum and its alloys that are used to catalyse the hydrogen oxidation reaction and the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) [1]. Most of the expensive metal is required for the cathodic ORR. However, Fe-N… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
