Metallic Sn core SnO 2 shell Tin (Sn) Nanorods in Core shell as catalyst material for fuel cell

Impregnation with NaBH 4 as a reduction agent Electrodeposition method Microwave irradiation Ultrasound irradiation Atomic layer deposition

Sn NR Catalyst on Sn NR

Pt PtSn

1 st cycle 50 th cycle

Commercial PtRu Microwave synthesized PtSn

NR 50nm x 300nm provide very high surface area. Stable support for Pt in acid environment. Low resistivity due to a core shell structure. Formation of conductive 3D network structure is made plausible by low T sintering of NR. Highly active PtSn alloy and Pt on SnO 2 support show excellent activity towrdes most widely used fuels in fuel cells. Use of advance methods (Electrochemical ALD) and can increase the catalysts utilization and reduce the fuel cell cost.

Partnership Sought Collaborator 1 Fuel cell material developing group or company seeking alternatives catalysts to the state of the art Pt or PtRu on carbon support Collaborator 2 Dynamic fluidic calculation of 3D-NR structure Mathematical model mass and electrical balance of the fuel cell Collaborator 3 Theoretical quantum mechanical study of methanol& hydrogen oxidation on Pt and PtSnO 2
