HTTP:: Weird Ceramic to Benefit Hydrogen Fuel Cell Production
--------
Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) have recently announced the development of a new, innovative type of ceramic that, apparently, has the ability to be a major contributor to improving the hydrogen-fuel cell battery technology and bring about the new era of all-electric cars. The new material, called Barium-Zirconium-Cerium-Yttrium-Ytterbuim Oxide (BZCYYb), is, apparently, able to make solid oxide fuel cells less costly and more efficient, while at the same time increasing their life span considerably. The thing about the new ceramic material is that not even its inventors are exactly sure how it functions, Gas 2.0 reports. They know, however, that it does, and they plan to implement it in existing technologies as soon as possible. If future innovations make solid oxide systems more affordable, then the new ceramic could lead to the complete removal of precious metals such as platinum from hydrogen fuel cells, which will make them more enviro!
nmentally friendly, and also a lot more cheaper. Advances in nanotechnology have already led to less platinum being needed in new-generation fuel cells, but experts are trying to eliminate it altogether. One thing preventing solid oxide technology from going out into mass production is heat. The yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ...
