A catalyst that does not use platinum at all has been developed! It is expected to be utilized as an electrode catalyst for fuel cells and air batteries.
GS Alliance has developed a catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction that serves as an alternative material to platinum catalysts. While a large amount of platinum is typically required for catalysts, platinum is an expensive resource that is unevenly distributed in specific regions. Therefore, the development of cost-effective and easily procurable platinum alternative catalysts is essential for the widespread adoption of fuel cells. Our company synthesizes metal-organic frameworks and porous coordination polymers, based on which we have developed a catalyst that does not use any platinum and possesses performance close to that of platinum-supported carbon catalysts. This catalyst demonstrates high oxygen reduction catalytic activity without the use of platinum, contributing to the reduction of costs for fuel cells and air batteries.

Company information
We are a chemical company that researches, develops, manufactures, and sells cutting-edge materials and technologies in the environmental and energy sectors aimed at building a decarbonized society. We are developing various advanced materials and technologies, including natural biomass-based biodegradable plastics (resins), biomass coating materials, biomass inks, next-generation solar cells, next-generation secondary batteries, next-generation fuel cells, quantum dots, metal-organic frameworks, ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents, and cellulose nanofibers. Our original brand, Nano Sakura, under GS Alliance, significantly enhances the functional properties of raw materials by "compositing" cellulose nanofibers, which are the main component of plants, with various existing resin materials, resulting in an environmentally friendly, next-generation high-performance advanced material. We also offer products made from 100% natural materials derived from natural biomass waste resources such as wood, plants, bamboo, paper, recycled paper, seaweed, and starch, aiming for a grade with zero petroleum usage, striving to create materials that are as environmentally friendly as possible. We have been selected as a startup support program company by UNOPS, a United Nations-related organization. UNOPS S3i Innovation Centre Japan
