Research Summary

PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) fuel cell catalysts are materials used in the electrodes of PEM fuel cells to facilitate the electrochemical reactions that generate electricity. These catalysts typically consist of platinum or platinum-based compounds, which are essential for the efficient conversion of hydrogen and oxygen into water and electricity. The catalysts play a critical role in promoting the reaction kinetics and enhancing the performance of PEM fuel cells. They are applied to the surface of electrodes, often as nanoparticles, to maximize the surface area available for electrochemical reactions, which in turn improves the power output and efficiency of the fuel cell. Researchers continually work to develop catalysts with reduced reliance on expensive materials like platinum and with increased durability to reduce the cost and enhance the long-term viability of PEM fuel cells for various applications, including clean energy production and transportation.
