Can the shape of a crystal really change how well it performs in clean energy technology? A new study says yes—decisively.

Noble metals such as platinum can make useful catalysts to accelerate chemical ... to "trap" platinum clusters on a tiny ...

He sieves away the debris, and heats a sample of dust in a furnace with a flux mixture containing lead oxide ... the percentage of platinum and to detect the other catalyst metals.

However, for AEMWE to be commercially viable, it requires catalysts that offer both high efficiency and long-term stability. Currently, platinum ... form a thin titanium oxide layer.

Designed a "core-shell structure catalyst" using cost-effective ruthenium to improve its potential for commercialization. Selected as a cover paper in the prestigious catalysis journal Energy & ...
