Relay development for electrolytes of the fuel cell（燃料電池の電解質向け新材料開発）

 The moat hair assistant instructors of Kyoto University developed a relay for electrolytes of the fuel cell. I can realize a fuel cell to be able to make it from cheap raw materials to use for a color without using expensive platinum. I will push forward a study I improve raw materials more, and to raise performance in future.
The relay is made just to mix zinc oxide and phosphoric acid, imidazole of pharmaceutical products raw materials to use for cosmetics with a mortar for approximately 5-10 minutes.
It is said that I can draw similar performance if I adopt it to a certain electrolyte between electrodes with a fuel cell without using the expensive materials such as the platinum catalyst.
I want I am cheap, and the fuel cell which is higher-performance than the fuel cell of the platinum catalyst to be in use by all means.


京都大学の堀毛助教らは、燃料電池の電解質向け新材料を開発した。顔料に使う安価な原料から作れるため、高価な白金などを使用せずに燃料電池を実現できる。今後、原料をさらに改善して性能を高める研究を進める。

　新材料は化粧品にも使う酸化亜鉛と、リン酸、医薬品原料のイミダゾールを乳鉢で５～10分ほど混ぜるだけでできる。

　燃料電池で電極の間にある電解質に採用すれば、白金触媒といった高価な材料を使わずに、同じような性能が引き出せるという。
　ぜひ、白金触媒の燃料電池より高性能の燃料電池を安価で実用化して欲しいですね。
