On April 30, from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, the ElectroCatalysis (ElectroCat) Consortium co-leads, Debbie Myers (Argonne National Laboratory) and Piotr Zelenay (Los Alamos National Laboratory), will provide an overview of the consortium and the ElectroCat funding opportunity announcement (FOA) topic currently soliciting proposals for platinum group metal (PGM)-free catalyst layers and electrodes. The ElectroCat Consortium aims to accelerate development of high-performing and durable PGM-free catalysts and electrodes to significantly reduce fuel cell cost. The webinar will cover the consortium’s approach to PGM-free catalyst research and development, including the national lab-based capabilities, with which applicants are expected to collaborate. Available capabilities include high-throughput, combinatorial techniques, and advanced computational tools within the consortium to guide research and development. The webinar will conclude with a 15-minute Q&A portion.
