Platinum for Fuel cells
Fuel cells generate electrical power by combining hydrogen and oxygen over platinum, used as a catalyst. Their only emissions come from the generation of hydrogen. Fuel cells can be used for cars, laptops, houses and offices.

Green future needs pyrite
New research from St. Mary’s University shows the path to green energy might be paved with fool’s gold. Fool’s gold, or pyrite, is produced and disposed of when copper is mined from porphyry. But according to Dr. Jacob Hanley, pyrite contains platinum group metals, which are valuable producers of hydrogen fuel cells and specialized batteries. “We are throwing metals away that could at some point ...
New catalyst for hydrogen fuel cells resists CO contamination
(PhysOrg.com) -- Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles promise faster refueling and the ability to travel longer distances before refueling than battery-powered cars, but they are susceptible to poisoning by carbon monoxide (CO). Now, scientists in the US and Japan have created new nanoparticles catalysts that enable hydrogen fuel cells to resist CO poisoning.
