Xrays reveal how platinum oxidizes in real time inside hydrogen devices
Jun 10, 2026
Electrolysers produce hydrogen. Fuel cells, in turn, generate electricity from hydrogen. Both technologies are considered key building blocks of the energy transition, offering well-established solutions for storing, transporting and producing renewable energy. However, there is a challenge: The pla
tinum catalysts often used in these systems gradually lose performance under high operating loads. In a sense, they "wear out" too quickly, increasing the costs of hydrogen technologies. ...read more read less
