A new catalyst sporting a graphene-protective layer and porous carbon support could enable better fuel cells

Researchers at UCLA and University of California have designed a graphene-nanopocket-protected, pore-confined and electrochemically accessible Pt nanocatalyst supported on Ketjenblack carbon that could dramatically extend the lifespan of fuel cells, making them a more viable clean energy source that can help bring sustainable, long-haul trucking closer to reality.
