Fuel-cell technology is a big subject with some very small but vital aspects, one of which is the size of platinum atoms. Reduce these and the cost of platinum-one of the major drawbacks of current fuel-cell systems-would also fall. So, establishing and creating the optimum size for platinum fuel-cell catalysis for cars and heavy-duty trucks is one of the ongoing research areas for future alternative energy solutions.
At the Technical University of Munich (TUM), an interdisciplinary research team recently revealed in a report the details of successfully modeling the optimum size for platinum stacks. The report states: “The new size-optimized catalysts are twice as good as the best pure platinum catalysts commercially available today.” It is a very encouraging result and strengthens the case for fuel cells, although more research is needed to achieve an even greater advance in the activity of fuel-cell catalysts in order to build a commercial case.

Search Tips: Search Operators:AND, OR, NOT; Wild Cards; Using Quotes
SAE MOBILUS® Search Tips
Please note: All terms not contained within quotes, will be evaluated using the OR operator. This means that your search results will contain all results that contain ANY of the entered terms.
AND, OR, NOT
SAE MOBILUS supports the use of the AND, OR and NOT BOOLEAN operators ONLY function with the Advanced Search.
Wild Cards
Using the asterisk, ( * ) allows you to search for a partial word. For example, entering a keyword search of aero* will search for any word beginning with aero.
Using the question mark, ( ? ) allows you to search for a word with a single character wildcard. For example, searching for t?re would match both tire and tyre
Using Quotes
Words in double quotes " " are treated as a phrase. Conducting a search for "heat model" will return all results in which the exact phrase "heat model" is found, while "heat modeling" would NOT be included.
A term combined with a phrase will be joined with an OR operator.
Searching for Standards
When searching for a standard please use the entire Document Number assigned, which includes the abbreviation. A space can be used, or omitted between the abbreviation and number.
