Platinum-free Electrocatalysts for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEFCs)

Lyth Lab Website.pptx

PEFCs are electrochemical energy conversion devices, which generate electricity from hydrogen. However, they currently too expensive for the average consumer. The electrocatalyst layer is one of the main contributors to this cost, due to the use of platinum.


We have developed unique nitrogen-doped carbon foams which we use as a support for the synthesis of Me-N-C electrocatalysts.
