  • Composite materials
    Patent number: 9634332
    Abstract: A mixed metal oxide material of tungsten and titanium is provided for use in a fuel cell. The material may comprise less than approximately 30 at. % tungsten. The mixed metal oxide may form the core of a core-shell composite material, used as a catalyst support, in which a catalyst such as platinum forms the shell. The catalyst may be applied as a single monolayer, or up to 20 monolayers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 16, 2014
    Date of Patent: April 25, 2017
    Assignee: Ilika Technologies, Ltd.

  • Platinum alloy catalyst
    Patent number: 7901835
    Abstract: A platinum alloy catalyst can be used as a fuel cell catalyst. The platinum alloy is a PtAuX alloy wherein X is one or more metals chosen from the group consisting of transition metals, and wherein the alloy contains 40-97% Pt, 1-40% Au and 2-20% X. Electrodes, catalysed membranes and membrane electrode assemblies comprising the catalyst are also disclosed.
