Georgia Tech team develops highly efficient multi-phase catalyst for SOFCs and other energy storage and conversion systems

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Georgia Tech, with colleagues in China and Saudi Arabia, have developed a rationally designed, multi-phase catalyst that significantly enhances the kinetics of oxygen reduction of the state-of-the-art solid oxide fuel cell cathode. The ions meet to make water, which exits the fuel cell.

Georgia Tech team develops simple, low-cost process for oxide nanowires; superior separators for Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Georgia Tech have developed a simple technique for producing oxide nanowires directly from bulk materials under ambient conditions without the use of catalysts or any external stimuli. The dissolution process generates hydrogen gas, which could be captured and used to help fuel the heating step.
