[Technical Column #05] A Comprehensive Explanation of Fuel Cell Electrode Materials!
The cost reduction of electrode catalysts is a future challenge! Introducing the materials used for the electrode part in fuel cells.
The electrode materials for fuel cells are one of the development challenges. In particular, platinum (Pt), used as an electrode catalyst in one type of fuel cell, the polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC), is highly valuable due to its rarity. Research is being conducted to reduce costs, and in addition to cost reduction, the materials for fuel cell electrodes are required to have corrosion resistance, impact resistance, and high performance for standardization. In this column, we will provide a detailed introduction to the materials used in the electrode parts of fuel cells. [Excerpt of Contents] ■ The electrode materials for fuel cells vary depending on the electrolyte ■ What is a fuel cell? ■ Materials for the electrode catalysts of the currently popular polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) ■ Structure of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC) and performance of electrode catalysts ■ Reasons why Pt-based materials are used in polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC) *For detailed content of the column, please refer to the related links.
