Scientists are studying transition metals such as iron as a promising alternative to platinum, but they have found that they quickly degrade in the acidic PEM fuel cell environment. They then used high-temperature pyrolysis to convert the atoms to catalytically active sites within the framework. —Yuyan Shao.
