This SBIR Phase I project will develop proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells as a power source for automobiles and stationary or portable power applications. Currently, the high cost of the PEM fuel cell limits their commercial applications. A significant cost of a PEM fuel cell comes from the use of Platinum. This project intends to develop a low cost core shell nanostructured catalyst which has the advantages of high specific catalyst activity as well as controllable shape and size.The broader/commercial impact of the project will be reduced use of platinum in PEM fuel cells. This will lower their cost. Fuel cells have the potential to revolutionize the power generation methodology and offer cleaner and more efficient power. This project targets the automobile industry as potential customers. More new jobs could be created by establishing leadership in this emerging technology; and fuel cells also are beneficial to the environment.

该SBIR I期项目将开发质子交换膜（PEM）燃料电池，作为汽车以及固定或便携式电源应用的电源。目前，PEM燃料电池的高成本限制了其商业应用。 PEM燃料电池的显着成本来自使用铂。 该项目旨在开发低成本的核心壳纳米结构催化剂，该催化剂具有高特异性催化剂活性以及可控的形状和尺寸的优势。该项目的更广泛/商业影响将降低PLATINUM在PEM燃料电池中的使用。 这将降低他们的成本。 燃料电池有可能彻底改变发电方法，并提供更清洁，更有效的电力。 该项目以潜在客户为目标。通过在这项新兴技术中建立领导才能可以创造更多的新工作；燃料电池也对环境有益。
