This huge development, in the opinion of the researchers, will eventually help to fully realize the enormous potential of hydrogen fuel cells.The commercialization of eco-friendly fuel has been stalled for decades by the high cost of platinum, but a study indicates that the low-cost catalyst may be a feasible substitute.For many years, researchers have been looking for a catalyst that would significantly lower the price of producing hydrogen fuel cells.A green energy revolution could result from such a breakthrough, with laptops and trains alike using fuel that only produces water as a byproduct. Researchers may be getting closer to achieving this objective, according to recent findings from the University at Buffalo (UB).The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has identified efficiency, durability, and affordability as the three main goals for fuel cell research. In a study that was…
