The researchers try to prove with every chance they got that fuel cells which can provide the required energy for a certain application and that they are very reliable. ACAL Energy (Cheshire, UK) has recently developed a liquid cathode […]

Dane Morgan and Ph.D. student Edward (Ted) Holby, from the University of Wisconsin-Madison have discovered that making the fuel cells from very small platinum nanoparticles decreases their lifetime. Making them bigger is, though, better.
