Cheap fuel production by ALD method

Scientists working at the University of Aalto, Finland, have announced the development of an ALD method that produces higher quality fuel cells. (Unlike batteries or batteries, fuel cells are not. lost power and also no ability to charge).

The results of this study were published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry C.

The anode (of the most commonly used fuel cells) is usually covered by an expensive precious metal powder, which reacts well with the fuel. (Fuel cells operate continuously when hydrogen fuel and O ₂ is taken from outside). However, by using a thin film layout, called the atomic layer layout (ALD), it helps to reduce over 60% of the precious metal nanoparticle catalysts supplied to the natural cells. whether compared to current methods.

Currently, researchers are testing the ALD method with alcohol fuel cells using a palladium catalyst (replacing platinum, which is used in conventional hydrogen fuel cells).
