Critical Raw materials Elimination by a top-down Approach To hydrogen and Electricity generation (CREATE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Jun 30, 2020,

CREATE aims at developing innovative membrane electrode assemblies for low-temperature polymer-electrolyte fuel cell (FC) and electrolyzer (EL) with much reduced cost. This will be achieved via elimination or drastic reduction of critical raw materials in their catalysts, in particular platinum group metals (PGM).Key issues with present low-temperature FC & EL are the high contents of PGM in devic ...
