Using a unique combination of advanced computational methods, University of Wisconsin-Madison chemical engineers have demystified some of the complex catalytic chemistry in fuel cells – an advance that brings cost-effective fuel cells closer to reality. “Understanding reaction mechanisms is the first step toward eventually replacing expensive platinum in fuel cells with a cheaper material,” says Prof. Manos Mavrikakis.
Fuel cells generate electricity by combining electrons and protons — provided by a chemical fuel such as methanol – with oxygen fr...
