This technology can be used to power airplanes, vehicles and
electronic devices
Using a mixture of
gold, copper and platinum nanoparticles, IBN researchers
have developed a more powerful and longer lasting fuel cell material. This
breakthrough was published recently in leading journal, Energy and Environmental
Science.
Fuel cells are a promising technology for use as a source of electricity to power electronic
devices, vehicles, military aircraft and
equipment. A fuel cell
converts the chemical energy from hydrogen (fuel) into electricity
through a chemical reaction with oxygen.
A fuel cell can produce electricity
continuously as long
as there is a fuel supply.
