Japan developed a carbon instead of platinum as a catalyst for fuel cell technology
With the rising awareness of global environment protection and energy, the growing demand for carbon emission reductions, fuel cell vehicles and household needs in the area will be expanded. Recently, Qing Textile Co., Ltd. and Japan's Tokyo Institute of Technology co-developed the use of carbon fuel cell to replace expensive platinum as a catalyst for new technology.
Carbon catalyst platinum price is only one-tenth of the catalyst, fuel cell vehicles can be greatly reduced cost. Nisshinbo big plans to work with the East in 2009 introduced the technology for home and auto supply carbon fuel cell catalyst. In addition, other manufacturers are also developing alternative catalysts, fuel cells designed to reduce marketing costs.
