✦ Synopsis


Also, for the catalyst made on this basis of amorphous metal alloys to be incorporated into the fuel cell membrane, Barranco decided to change its form. The result is a very fine powder that is placed in a container to 'spray paint' the membrane. An additional benefit of this is that it further enhances catalyst activity by a factor of 9-13. The catalyst is claimed to improve overall DMFC efficiency by more than 50%.

Barranco's work falls within the remit of the alcohols oxidation fuel cell research being undertaken in the Industrial Chemistry & Electrochemical
