The catalytic layer is the core site in a fuel cell where the electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen happens to generate electric current. MOFs offer unique advantages as new type of catalytic layer materials, by their highly controllable pore size, high surface area, and rich chemical functional groups.
Features and advantages:
●High porosity, more conducive to the passage of hydrogen and oxygen;
●Excellent conductivity;
●Light and thin, high proton migration rate.
Application scope:
●Portable power supply;
●Electric vehicles, backup power systems, and distributed energy systems.
