DESCRIPTION
The chemical process known as the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) makes it possible to use hydrogen as a clean fuel in modern fuel cells to produce heat and power. For this reaction, platinum metal is typically used as a catalyst. However, its main drawbacks are its expensive price of platinum (about 930 $/troy oz) and its limited availability in the Earth’s crust.
