Polymer electrolyte fuel cell vehicles are anticipated to lower well-to-wheel energy consumption, and reduce emissions of green house gases and other air pollutants. The current generation of fuel cell vehicles have demonstrated all the performance attributes that customers expect, such as long range, fast re-fuelling and cold start. However, the fuel cells are still too costly to enable its successful commercialization. One of the major contributors to fuel cell costs is the platinum used inside the fuel cell electrodes.

聚合物电解质燃料电池汽车有望降低从油井到车轮的能源消耗，减少温室气体和其他空气污染物的排放。当前一代燃料电池汽车已经展示了客户期望的所有性能属性，例如长距离，快速加油和冷启动。然而，燃料电池的成本仍然太高，无法实现成功的商业化。燃料电池成本的主要贡献者之一是燃料电池电极内部使用的铂。
