Encapsulated Palladium Nanoparticles Improve Rate of Electrochemical Reaction in Methanol Fuel Cells

Researchers at the Nanoparticles by Design Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) have developed a novel method by encapsulating noble metal nanoparticles within a porous metal oxide shell to prevent them from compacting. They conducted the research along with the SLAC National Laboratory in the USA and the Austrian Centre for Electron Microscopy and Nanoanalysis. The latest breakthrough holds promise in the field of nano-catalysis for the development of more efficient fuel cells. The study has been published in Nanoscale.
