A collaboration between Southern Federal University, Skoltech, the Boreskov Institute and Bauman Moscow State Technical University has yielded a five-metal high-entropy alloy catalyst that retains 78% activity after 10,000 cycles and offers four times higher performance than a commercial platinum benchmark, promising cost-effective, durable solutions for hydrogen fuel cells.
Researchers at Southern Federal University in Rostov-on-Don are joining forces with Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, the Boreskov Institute of Catalysis, and Bauman Moscow State Technical University to test out a new five-metal high-entropy alloy catalyst. This innovative approach could significantly improve the durability and efficiency of low-temperature hydrogen fuel cells, and it’s perfectly timed with the ongoing discussions in the hydrogen news world, especially as we look to reduce our reliance on pure platinum and tackle pressing issues in the fuel cell arena.
Why catalysts matter
So, how do hydrogen fuel cells work, you ask? Well, it’s actually pretty straightforward….
