The U.S. Department of Energy Fuel Cell Technologies Office (FCTO) will hold a public webinar titled "ElectroCat Consortium: Advancing PGM-Free Electrocatalysts for Next-Generation Fuel Cells" on Wednesday, September 26, at 12 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). In this webinar, representatives from ElectroCat's core laboratories will talk about how the Consortium is increasing U.S. competitiveness in manufacturing fuel cell electric vehicles and other fuel cell energy conversion devices. ElectroCat is addressing barriers to widescale implementation of fuel cell technologies by accelerating the development and deployment of platinum group metal-free (PGM-free) electrocatalysts in fuel cells. The webinar will cover the Consortium’s systematic approach to potential catalysts, computational work at the national labs, and data sharing with industry and academia partners. The webinar will be recorded and made available online, and includes a 15-minute Q&A portion.
