Matt is co-first author with Dr. Kyu-Young Park of Professor Hersam’s group on a paper that shares an approach for improving durability and mitigating Pt loss from polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell cathodes. Graphene nanoplatelets suppress Pt dissolution and agglomeration, while providing defect sites for redeposition of Pt upon cycling to improve performance in accelerated stress tests operated in both diagnostic rotating disc electrode and applied membrane electrode assembly setups.
Congratulations Matt!
