In this episode of The Zero Emission Zone, we explore a groundbreaking development in fuel cell technology: mixed-dimensional Pt-Ni alloy polyhedral nanochains. These nanochains act as bifunctional electrocatalysts, significantly improving the efficiency of both methanol oxidation and oxygen reduction reactions in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). Join us as we dive into how this novel nanostructure boosts catalytic activity, enhances stability, and mitigates CO poisoning, paving the way for more efficient, durable fuel cells. Tune in to uncover how this research is driving the next generation of clean energy solutions!
