Hydrogen fuel cells with non-precious metal cathode catalysts

低成本和强大的燃料电池技术是氢经济成功的基石。该项目旨在通过开发用于氧还原反应的低成本电催化剂来解决氢燃料电池的成本和耐用性问题。将开发新的非贵重催化剂，并利用原位电流映射和X射线计算机断层扫描的新方法在燃料电池中了解它们的稳定性。该项目的预期成果包括材料开发、改进的表征技术和电催化方面的新知识。该项目将使Kohodo氢能公司受益，使其成为澳大利亚低成本催化剂的领先者，并使澳大利亚工业在发展氢经济方面受益。

Low-cost and robust fuel cell technology is a cornerstone towards the success of the hydrogen economy. The project aims to address the cost and durability of hydrogen fuel cells by advancing low-cost electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reactions. Novel non-precious catalysts will be developed, and their stability understood in fuel cells using a new approach with in situ current mapping and X-ray computed tomography. The expected outcomes of this project include material development, improved characterisation techniques and new knowledge on electrocatalysis. The project will benefit Kohodo Hydrogen Energy by positioning them as an Australian leader in low-cost catalysts, and to Australian industries in developing the hydrogen economy.
