Abstract

The CSIR undertakes research in the Electrocatalysis of fuel cells and for hydrogen production. The Hydrogen South Africa (HySA) strategy supports research on electrocatalysts due to their importance to the national beneficiation strategy. The work reported here presents choice methods for the production of Platinum Group Metals (PGM) electrocatalysts, which are characterized for their performance. Investigations on the commercial feasibility of such electrocatalysts in the fuel cells including hydrogen production continue to be subject of global interest, to ensure energy security of supply. The paper aims to present possible synthesis routes for PGM electrocatalysts for commercial gains.
