Electrocatalysts for PEM Fuel Cells
Our expertise in precious metal catalysts will contribute to improve the fuel cell's catalyst activity.
Fuel cells have been attracting a public attention in expectation as a source of clean energy. Through the chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen, fuel cells generate electricity and water as by-products. Catalysts, which promote the electrochemical reaction, is a key component to improve the efficiency of fuel cell.
Our development of precious metal catalysts will lead to the realization of hydrogen society.
Products
Platinum loaded carbon
- Overview
- Fine platinum particles are loaded on carbon support with high dispersity, designed for both anode and cathode.
- Features
- Achieving both high catalyst activity and durability by the loading method which utilizes the structure of carbon support.
We can consider a possibility to meet client's request on catalyst properties.
Achieving high catalyst activity
Durability increased (under load cycle protocol)
Durable platinum loaded carbon
- Overview
- This is designed to meet durability requirements, paticularly for heavy-duty vehicle applications.
- Features
- Achieving high fuel cell performance against significant voltage fluctuation. The carbon support has both high specific surface area and high crystallinity.
Crystalline size of carbon support increased 5 times
Durability increased (under Start-up/shut-down protocol)
We have succeeded in adopting approximately 5 times higher carbon corrosion resistance support. The catalysts have approximately 11 times longer life time.
Platinum cobalt loaded carbon
- Overview
- This product is designed to achieve high catalyst activity by loading platinum-cobalt alloy particles on carbon.
- Features
- Achieving high catalyst activity by loading alloyed particles with high specific surface area. We can consider a possibility to meet client's request on catalyst properties.
Achieving high catalyst activity by controlling the location of loaded Pt, and alloying Pt and Co
We have succeeded in controlling the loading location, and alloying Pt and Co, which enhances the catalyst activity. The catalyst activity shows approximately 3 times higher than commercialized platinum loaded carbon.
