Scientists at MIT and Berkeley Lab have developed a new type of catalyst that can be tuned to promote desired chemical reactions, potentially enabling the replacement of expensive and rare metals in fuel cells. Carbon is used as the primary material for electrodes in batteries and fuel cells, and the new catalyst is carbon-based, containing graphite and graphene. Recently, the research team, which includes Junko Yano, Senior Scientist in the Molecular Biophysics & Integrated Bioimaging Division, published their findings in JACS, the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
