Fuel Cells using Carbon Nanotube Catalysts
Ever dreamed of a fuel cell that is more compact, efficient and cheaper than the existing ones? Recent research has uncovered a new type of fuel cell based on carbon nanotubes that is just this and much more. Forget the old platinum catalysts which make electrochemical conversion a very expensive process.
Liming Dai of the University [...]
