What is it about?
Multiwalled carbon nanotubes supported platinum catalyst was synthesized and characterized using standard physical and electrochemical characterization methods. Its performance was studied parametrically in a single proton exchange membrane fuel cell by preparing electrodes using the synthesized nanocatalyst with variable loadings.

Why is it important?
Parametric evaluation of synthesized nanocatalyst using variable nanocatalyst loadings is essential to minimize usage of noble metal catalyst used. The impact of nanocatalyst loading on output performance of the single proton exchange membrane fuel cell helps us optimize and tune single cell performance before proceeding with stack configuration.
Perspectives
Variable nanocatalyst loading impact on proton exchange membrane fuel cell performance is an relatively unexplored area. Our goal was to minimize the usage of platinum while maximizing output performance of the fuel cell. Extensive work was done in the Fuel Cell Technology laboratory in the Department of Chemical Engineering, AU College of Engineering (A), Andhra University prior to this publication.
