A report on the study appears today in the journal Science.
http://shorterlink.com/?D1M79Y Astris long ago chose to pioneer development of alkaline fuel cell (AFC) technology because of its inherent technical and economic advantages over the Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) technology being developed by other North American fuel cell concerns. AFCs provide superior performance, yet can be fabricated from low-cost materials, avoiding the expensive platinum catalysts required by PEMs. Alkaline systems also will operate at sub-zero temperatures where competing fuel cell systems cannot.
