Metal-Polymer Functional Materials for Hydrogen-Oxygen Fuel Cells with Enhanced Performance

Abstract

The most promising direction in alternative energy is hydrogen energy, using hydrogen as a secondary energy carrier. A key component in hydrogen energy is a fuel cell, especially on solid polymer membranes. Increasing the efficiency, reducing the cost and increasing the service life of such elements is the primary task of this direction. These tasks need to be solved from two sides: by improving the parameters of platinum catalysts in electrochemical reactions of energy sources, as well as by improving the qualities of the membrane. The aim of the work is to synthesize and study composites with palladium and platinum nanoparticles in hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells.
