New research on Chalcogens is the subject of a report. According to news reporting out of?Taejon, South Korea, by NewsRx editors, research stated, ?Designing novel cathode materials for a proton exchange membrane fuel cell with high activity for the oxygen reduction reaction, low Pt loading, and enhanced long-term stability is imperative for its sustainability. To date, Pt monolayer based electrocatalysts deposited on a metallic core substrate have shown promising possibilities.?

Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the?Korea Institute of Energy Research, ?In this study, we synthesized bimetallic IrCu nanoparticles and used them as a core for Pt monolayer electrocatalysts. It was found that the de-alloyed IrCu nanoparticle surfaces increased both the mass and specific activities of the resulting Pt monolayer catalyst. In addition, we demonstrated that Pt monolayer electrocatalysts with a de-alloyed IrCu core have a better stability than those using a non-dealloyed core based on a 5,000 potential cycling test.?

According to the news editors, the research concluded: ?These data describe a new simple synthesis of a high-performance catalyst suitable for practical applications.?
