The National Science Foundation awarded Domcat Technologies LLC a $255,551 Project Grant under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) to develop scalable synthesis routes for durable, low-platinum-content fuel cell catalysts and membrane electrode assemblies. The goal of the project is to demonstrate a commercially viable catalyst technology for hydrogen fuel cells through nanoengineering the metal composition and synthesis scalability of catalysts containing a low percentage of platinum group metals. Over the six-month period from March 15, 2023 to August 31, 2023, Domcat Technologies will accomplish three major tasks: developing a scalable synthesis route for the targeted catalyst, preparing membrane electrode assemblies, and evaluating performance in hydrogen fuel cells. The project aims to address key pain points in the fuel cell market related to high platinum group metal loadings and poor durability of current catalysts during operations.
