Microbial fuel cells

Fuel cells that use bacteria as catalysts to produce hydrogen gas, which is then used to generate electricity. In this application, the hydrogen also provides buoyancy control.

Nitrogen-enriched iron-carbon nanorods

A newly developed catalyst that facilitates chemical reactions and energy production in fuel cells. It is significantly cheaper than platinum.

Platinum catalysts

Used in the chlorine-mediated oxidation method, these catalysts are effective but costly, prompting research into carbon-based alternatives.
