The discovery and optimization of materials with nanometric dimensions (e.g. supported metal clusters) has aroused high interest in catalysis field during the last years. Based on the fact that some elements, such as gold, show unique catalytic properties when properly synthesized in the form of small crystallites, attention has been mainly paid on controlling the physical-chemical characteristics ...

"EFFIPRO will develop electrolytes and electrodes for proton conducting fuel cells (PCFCs) based on novel LaNbO4-type and similar proton conducting oxides that, unlike earlier candidates, are chemically stable and mechanically robust. The transport of H+ makes water form on the cathode side, avoiding fuel dilution and recycling and reducing risk of destructive anode oxidation, even at peak power. ...
