Market Focus

Immediate market opportunity

  • Portable Power
  • Stationary Power System

Follow-on opportunity

  • Catalytic Converters for Existing Auto market
  • Electrical Automobiles

 

Current Fuel Cell Catalysts

Current Industry Solution:

  • Pt powder is mixed with carbon powder
  • Pt/C mixture are inkjet-like coated on carbon-fiber papers or carbon clothes
  • Or Pt/C mixture is coated on membrane sheet (Gore’s method)
  • Pt loading is 0.4mg/cm2
  • Power density is 1W/mgPt-cm2 @ 1A/cm2
  • 1/3 of the fuel cell cost is on Pt

Critical Problems:

  • Cost & Reliability

 

Fuel Cell Solution: Catalyst & Electrode Design

 

Fuel Cell Catalysts Technology

Our Solution:

  • Pt Alloy (10-30% Pt) replace pure Pt.
  • Pt or Pt alloy thin film coating on nanostructure is the most efficient catalyst/electrode structure.
  • Pt loading below 0.05mg/cm2 is achieved.
  • MEA sample will be ready for sampling in six month

Our Advantage:

  • Target: Power density W/mgPt-cm2 is 10X increase
  • New deposition process is introduced for manufacturing a large area nano-integrated catalysts/electrode/diffusion layer
  • Target: bring down cost of system per Kwatt from $5000 to $500
