Hydrogen fuel cells hold a lot of promise as sustainable and eco-friendly energy sources to power transportation by land, air and sea. But traditional catalysts used to drive chemical reactions in hydrogen fuel cells are too costly and inefficient to justify a large-scale commercial shift away from existing technologies.
In new interdisciplinary research published in ACS Catalysis, Northeastern scientists have identified a novel class of catalysts that, because of their particular non-noble-metal…
