New Delhi: A group of scientists at International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy and New Materials have developed a platinum based electrocatalyst that they claim demonstrate comparable performance in fuel cells to other electrocatalysts available in the market today while offering more durability through superior corrosion resistance. With expected commercialization in the next quarter, it could be a breaktrhough for indigenous fuel cell development paving the way for low-cost, durable fuel cells. Fuel cells are electrochemical cells that convert chemical energy of a fuel into electricity. It produces DC electricity from hydrogen with water as a byproduct. They have multiple applications including electric vehicles, which are powered by hydrogen. It has been published in the ‘International Journal of Hydrogen Energy’, and a patent has been…
