In new research led by the University at Buffalo, researchers describe
how iron can be combined with nitrogen and carbon to produce a new
catalyst that is efficient, durable, and inexpensive - the three main objectives the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has identified for fuel
cell research.
Iron-based catalysts are less costly alternatives because iron is
abundant and inexpensive. But it does not perform as well as platinum, especially because it lacks the durability to withstand the highly
corrosive and oxidative environments inside fuel cells.
