- Emerging from a Science City Research Alliance Fellowship (£332k), this work is part of a wider strategy to obtain practical and cost-effective catalysts from commercially available materials for fuel cell devices. The key insight is the enhanced performance of electrocatalysts due to improved adhesion even in 1D nanostructures. The work evolved from a long-standing collaboration with Delft University of Technology (Dr Qiang Xu, email available on request). It was presented at the European Fuel Cell Forum (2013), formed the basis of an invited review article in Applied Catalysis B (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apcatb.2016.06.022) and led to an EPSRC CDT (EP/L015749/1) PhD project.
