The platinum (Pt) catalyst that is commonly used in fuel cells due to its high catalytic activity is expensive and depleting in supply. Hence, the focus has shifted to non-platinum catalysts such as palladium-based ones with similar electrochemical activity. Current synthesis methods involve a subst...
