Though they can produce water and electricity from hydrogen and oxygen, it&#8217;s the essential presence of platinum that makes them unaffordable for mass production. Playing the role of a catalyst, platinum has so far been the metal of choice because of its ability to create acidic environment and non-corrosive nature. To defeat this precious metal&#8217;s reign, Lin Zhuang&#8217;s team at Wuhan University, China, has come up with a new alkali (non-acidic) nickel membrane that serves as a much cheaper catalyst.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nA working prototype of the new low-cost fuel cell shows a &#8220;decent&#8221; performance of 50 milliwatts per square centimeter at 60 \u00b0C. &#8220;The power output is still lower than that of fuel cells using platinum, but such a comparison may not be appropriate because platinum fuel cells have been studied and optimized for decades,&#8221; Zhuang says.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscientist.com\/article\/dn16275-platinumfree-fuel-cell-promises-cheap-green-power.html\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fuel cells are an expensive green alternative to the internal combustion machines for the auto-industry.
