Researchers have engineered a platinum-nickel core-shell catalyst that enhances hydrogen fuel cell efficiency by accelerating the oxygen reduction reaction, a key process for clean energy production. This catalyst design minimizes platinum use by coating a nickel core with a thin platinum shell, achieving superior catalytic performance at a lower cost. The innovation could make hydrogen fuel cells more affordable and scalable, with potential to drive advancements in electric vehicles and renewable energy applications, offering a sustainable solution to reduce carbon emissions.
