A fuel cell generates electricity by oxidizing a fuel at the anode and reducing an oxidant at the cathode. The most popular fuel cells exploit the oxidation of hydrogen at the anode and the reduction of oxygen at the cathode . The performance of a fuel cell is directly correlated to the speed of electrochemical reactions at each electrode. Catalysts, often platinum-based, are required to accelerate electrode reactions. Their cost is a major obstacle to the development of affordable batteries....
