Electrocatalyst and Electrode Designs for PEMFC

Recently, as interest in climate change increases, the transition to an eco-friendly energy society is accelerating.

In particular, since fuel cells have the advantage that there is no pollution because water is the only by-product of energy production. However, Pt/C used as a catalyst for PEMFC has a disadvantage that platinum is lost due to poor stability of the support.

Therefore, our lab is researching a high-performance/high-durability catalyst by developing a more stable inorganic support in a fuel cell environment instead of the existing carbon support.
