Anion-exchange membrane fuel cells with ionomerless cathodes

Anion-exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) emerge as a promising clean energy technology. In a recent issue of Nature Energy, Douglin et al. designed ionomerless cathodes using ultra-lowloading Ag-Pd alloy electrocatalysts, which opens new paths for material design/innovation for high -performance AEMFCs simplifying the transition from laboratory research to commercial applications.
