Carbon monoxide enables rapid atomic scale control for fuel cell catalysts
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Dec 04, 2025
Researchers at the Korea Institute of Energy Research report a carbon monoxide driven process that forms metal thin films about 0.3 nanometers thick, enabling faster fabrication of core-shell fuel cell catalysts that reduce platinum usage while maintaining performance. The approach, called CO Adsorption-Induced Deposition, leverages the redox behavior and strong surface affinity of carbon monoxi
