His research group correlates these factors with the FC performance to improve cost efficiency and sustainability. These objectives are achieved through a holistic consideration of key reaction variables such as the size, shape, and composition of the underlying catalyst support.

Stanislaus Wong of Stony Brook University is designing new classes of cheaper and better-performing FC catalysts by investigating catalytic efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Conventional, commercial FC catalysts are often based on platinum (Pt) and similar precious metals, but these systems tend to have serious performance problems and can be cost prohibitive. FCs could be used in many applications from portable electronics, commercial buildings, and residential power, to utility-scale applications. Recent efforts in developing alternative, renewable and sustainable energy sources have led to increased research aimed at building viable FC configurations. Primary Place of Performance Congressional District:Ī fuel cell (FC) is an electrochemical device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy through catalyzed reactions.
