A new fabrication technique that produces platinum hollow nanocages with ultra-thin walls could dramatically reduce the amount of the costly metal needed to provide catalytic activity in suc... Read more
Researchers succeeded in creating an electrocatalyst that is needed for storing electric energy made of carbon and iron. A challenge that comes with the increased use of renewable energy is... Read more
Platinum works well as a catalyst in hydrogen fuel cells, but it has at least two drawbacks: It is expensive, and it degrades over time. Brown chemists have engineered a cheaper and more dur... Read more
Discovery May Yield Cheaper, More Efficient Alternative to Platinum in Automotive Engines Engineers at a company co-founded by a University of Texas at Dallas professor have identified a mat... Read more
