- The ubiquitous utilisation of fuel cells as “green” alternatives to fossil fuel based combustion engines is limited by the significant costs associated with the precious metals (Pt and Ir) utilised as fuel cell electrode materials. This paper was the first to demonstrate that 2D-MoS2 can be used as a cheap alternative to Pt as the cathodic material within fuel cells. The work led to a knowledge transfer partnership (KTP11607) between Manchester metropolitan University and the European Marine Energy Centre that aimed to combine mass-producible screen printing technologies with 2D-MoS2 to produce a prototype fuel cell.
