Fuel cells are an energy conversion solution that generates electricity through electrochemical reactions without burning, so they will not cause global air pollution.
These batteries can power a variety of technologies, from electric vehicles to portable chargers and industrial machines.
, Despite the many advantages of fuel cells, many fuel cell designs introduced to date rely on expensive materials and precious metal catalysts, which limits their widespread use.
Anion-exchange-membrane fuel cells (AEMFC) can help meet these challenges because they use Earth’s abundant and low-cost catalysts and are therefore more affordable.
In recent years, many research groups around the world have been designing and testing new AEMFC.
Although some existing equipment has achieved encouraging results, most non-precious metals used as catalysts have been found to be prone to autooxidation, leading to irreversible battery failure.
