Synthesis of electro-catalyst for use in fuel cells

Readiness Level:

IPDI Level: 9 (Initiated Technology Transfer)

Key Features:

1. Pt based electrocatalysts can be prepared using an easily scalable method.
2. The electrocatalysts enables unique performance and better durability for fuel cell reactions (ORR, HOR).
3. Tuneable particle size and surface area of electrocatalysts produced.
4. Better catalyst utilization and higher electro-catalytic activity.
5. The substrate material is functionalized to hold the Pt particles stronger. So both strength and durability is increased.

Possible Applications:

1. Fuel cells.
