South Korean researchers have revealed a scalable production method for platinum-based fuel cell catalysts, while Germany moved forward on its hydrogen strategy by signing agreements with Australia, Belgium, and the Netherlands.Institute for Basic Science (IBS) researchers in South Korea have presented a novel method to produce uniformly sized cobalt-platinum (Co-Pt) alloy nanoparticles through heat treatment. Bipyridine and chlorine ligands surround Co and Pt ions, respectively. The heat treatment then causes the bipyridine ligand to thermally decompose into a carbon shell that can protect the ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
