The Development of Stronger Cobalt for Fuel Cells
The Development of Stronger Cobalt for Fuel Cells Image Credit: Pacific Northwest National Laboratory New research has found cobalt could be a cheaper alternative for platinum in PEM fuel cells, a discovery that could lead to increased usage and reduced dependence on fossil fuels. Electric vehicles that use fuel cells are an important step in cutting greenhouse emissions and our attempts to limit climate change. These cells can be used to generate electricity from oxygen and compressed hydrogen, thus reducing the need for fossil fuels. One of the problems that hinder the widespread roll-...
