Interesting Article; Gold as a Fuel cell component. (Gold nanoparticles and Curcumin)

https://www.theengineer.co.uk/content/news/curcumin-and-gold-nanoparticles-key-to-ethanol-fuel-cells


"Curcumin — the substance in turmeric — and gold nanoparticles have been combined to create an electrode that requires 100 times less energy than hydrogen to efficiently convert ethanol into electricity.

According to researchers at the Clemson Nanomaterials Institute and the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, of all the catalysts for alcohol oxidation in alkaline medium that exist, the one they prepared is the best so far. Thus, their finding paves the way for replacing hydrogen as fuel cell feedstock.
