Laser-burned graphene could replace platinum as fuel cell catalyst

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the Tour Lab at Rice University developed an improved cost-effective approach using direct laser scribing to prepare graphene embedded with various types of metallic nanoparticles. The wonderful thing about this process is that we can use commercial polymers, with simple inexpensive metal salts added. Tour is the T.T.
