Green Car Congress: New process reduces palladium loading by 60% to reduce costs for direct alcohol fuel cells

Researchers at Aalto University in Finland have developed a new and significantly cheaper method of manufacturing direct alcohol fuel cells (DAFCs) fuel cells by preparing a palladium nanoparticle catalyst using atomic layer deposition (ALD). This ALD method for manufacturing fuel cells requires 60% less catalyst than current methods.
