Brookhaven, U Arkansas team develop new core-shell catalyst for ethanol fuel cells

Green Car Congress

JUNE 9, 2019

Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and the University of Arkansas have developed a highly efficient catalyst for extracting electrical energy from ethanol. Much of ethanol’s potential power is locked up in the carbon-carbon bonds that form the backbone of the molecule.
