Palladium/Iron-Platinum Core/Shell Nanoparticle Catalysts Promising for Practical Fuel Cell Applications

Green Car Congress

The oxygen reduction reaction takes place at the fuel cell’s cathode, creating water as its only waste. The team created the iron-platinum shell by decomposing iron pentacarbonyl [Fe(CO) 5 ] and reducing platinum acetylacetonate [Pt(acac) 2 ], a technique Sun first reported in a paper published in 2000 in the journal Science.

The Telechron Model Type E master station clock shown at top was used at the Tennessee Valley Authority beginning in the 1930s. Clocks 1925–1955 (Schiffer Publishing, 2000) is the definitive book on Warren clocks, documenting over 700 models of Telechron and GE clocks. Until the late 1940s, station clocks from the Warren Telechron Co.
