Argonne-led study insights help to reduce degradation in fuel cells and extend lifetime

Green Car Congress

The investigation enabled them to identify the degradation mechanism during the cathodic ORR, and the insights guided the design of a nanocatalyst that uses gold to eliminate platinum dissolution. The dissolution of platinum occurs at the atomic and molecular scale during exposure to the highly corrosive environment in fuel cells.
