A catalyst alloying platinum with a rare earth element could slash fuel cell costs

Beijing, China (SPX) Oct 13, 2022
Researchers have devised a method for combining high-cost platinum and a low-cost rare earth element, lanthanum, as an alloy to serve as a catalyst in the next generation of fuel cells that will improve their performance and slash their cost. The development should make it easier to decarbonize those heavy transport vehicles that are less amenable to the use of batteries to power them.
