Platinum (Pt) electrodes are crucial for clean power technologies like hydrogen fuel cells and electrolysis. However, the surface oxidation that occurs during such processes degrades catalyst ...

The researchers also observed that oxidation proceeds layer by layer and forms a disordered platinum oxide layer at high voltages. For the experiments, the team combined three complementary X-ray ...

Electrolysers produce hydrogen. Fuel cells, in turn, generate electricity from hydrogen. Both technologies are considered key building blocks of the energy transition, offering well-established ...

Bridging ligands let gold–platinum nanoclusters shed surface coatings at lower temperatures, boosting low-temperature carbon ...
