Nanostructured materials for low-temperature fuel cells

The data on nanostructured materials used in the design of low-temperature fuel cells is generalized. The factors responsible for the increase in conductivity of hybrid membranes containing inorganic nanoparticles are analyzed. The approaches to enhancing the efficiency of platinum catalysts that provide transition from conventional systems to nanosized catalysts including "core–shell" polymetallic systems are discussed. The hypotheses that explain the reasons for the enhanced stability of these catalysts with respect to carbon monoxide impurity are considered. The bibliography includes 497 references.
