AI Article Synopsis

  • - The study introduces a new type of fuel cell catalyst made from rhodium, nickel, and sulfur that offers power densities between 5-28% compared to platinum catalysts.
  • - The catalyst, called NiRhS, was created using a homogeneous model complex inspired by [NiFe] hydrogenases (Hases).
  • - This innovative catalyst can function effectively as both the cathode and anode within a fuel cell system.

Article Abstract

We present a novel fuel cell heterogeneous catalyst based on rhodium, nickel and sulfur with power densities 5-28% that of platinum. The NiRhS heterogeneous catalyst was developed via a homogeneous model complex of the [NiFe]hydrogenases (Hases) and can act as both the cathode and anode of a fuel cell.
