Nanostructured platinum alloys for use as catalyst materials (original) (raw)

Nanostructured platinum alloys are explored as advanced catalyst materials used in various catalytic processes, particularly in automotive catalytic converters and fuel cells. These alloys offer improved performance by enhancing catalytic activity and stability under extreme operational conditions, addressing issues related to the high costs and durability limitations of standard platinum catalysts. Moreover, ongoing research aims to reduce the platinum group metal content in these applications, emphasizing the need for new catalytic materials that can meet future energy demands while also contributing to greener technologies.
