Quotes

...and McMaster University, we were able to make a great progress towards producing cheaper and more efficient fuel cell catalysts," says Ye. "Platinum is a precious material but a great catalyst. By using less of this material in a more efficient way, fuel cells can be made more cost effective, and thus support wide-spread commercialization."
