A new fuel cell catalyst comprised of graphene, developed by researchers in South Korea. It is durable and can be recharged many times without losing performance.

A rare earth material used in hydrogen fuel cells to facilitate energy conversion. Platinum is expensive, difficult to procure and refine, and its extraction and refinement process produces waste that can poison water supplies.

Devices that convert chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through an electrochemical reaction, producing minimal emissions.
