(Pictured: Toyota hydrogen fuel cell concept vehicle, 2019. High cost of catalysts . Platinum is the best catalyst for hydrogen fuel cells, but its rarity makes it expensive. Finding alternatives . The new method quickly identifies which alloys — combinations of platinum and other, less expensive metals — are likely to achieve the best results in fuel cells.
