New article of Dr. engineer Adam Kubiak, prof. Marcin Frankowski and prof. UAM by Michał Cegłowski from the Faculty of Chemistry at Adam Mickiewicz University was published in the Chemical Engineering Journal (IF=15.1). The work concerns an innovative method of simultaneous deposition of platinum (Pt) and gold (Au) nanoparticles on a carbon support.
– In response to the need to integrate materials engineering with sustainable development, our study introduces an innovative method of simultaneous deposition of platinum (Pt) and gold (Au) nanoparticles on a carbon support. The presented technology allows the creation of efficient electrocatalysts with increased electrochemical activity, which are used in fuel cells - write the authors of the publication and add:
– The key to our approach is the use of LED light to precisely control the photodeposition process, which enables the creation of uniform Pt-Au nanostructures. This method not only increases catalytic activity, but also improves the catalysts' resistance to poisoning, which translates into their longer service life. It is also important that the use of energy-saving LED light significantly reduces energy costs, contributing to global efforts to reduce the carbon footprint. Our research opens new perspectives for industry and technology, offering solutions that are both effective and sustainable.
