SiC and B₄C as electrocatalyst support materials for low temperature fuel cells

Supported nano-catalyst technologies are key for increasing the catalyst utilisation and achieving economically feasible platinum metal loadings in hydrogen polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs). High surface area carbons are commonly utilised as support materials for platinum due to low cost, larg...
