Electrocatalysts for PEM Fuel Cells
![](/english/products/nanomaterials/fuelcell/img/index_im01.jpg)
Our expertise in precious metal catalysts will contribute to improve the fuel cell's catalyst activity.
Fuel cells have been attracting a public attention in expectation as a source of clean energy. Through the chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen, fuel cells generate electricity and water as by-products. Catalysts, which promote the electrochemical reaction, is a key component to improve the efficiency of fuel cell.
Our development of precious metal catalysts will lead to the realization of hydrogen society.
Products
