Blue pigment catalyst boosts fuel cell power without platinum

A team from Tohoku University and the Technion developed carbon-supported blue-pigment catalysts for anion-exchange membrane fuel cells. The approach improves power output without relying on costly platinum.

• Catalysts are built on blue pigment with a carbon support
• Work involved Tohoku University, Technion, Hokkaido University and AZUL Energy
• The technology boosts fuel cell power without platinum
