NICOP - Novel carbon-supported PtCo core-shell catalysts for high performance PEM fuel cells

Abstract

This project focused on developing cathode catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Our approach combined the advantages of platinum catalyst and non-precious catalysts to decrease the cost and to maintain or enhance catalytic activity compared to that of platinum catalysts. The results from our experiments showed that the proposed composite catalysts increased the cost-effectiveness and utilization of platinum, and exhibited enhanced durability.
