Materials used in fuel cells to facilitate the electrochemical reactions that produce electrical power.

A soft, metallic mineral found in abundance worldwide that can serve as a catalyst in hydrogen fuel cells. It can be manipulated at room temperature and resists degradation from fuel cell chemical processes.

The process used to produce green hydrogen by splitting water using electricity.
