Japanese researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo) have developed a new material that could dramatically improve fuel cell technology. Containing rubidium (Rb), this new material has a high conductivity, meaning it can more efficiently transport oxygen ions.
According to the team, led by Professor Masatomo Yashima at the Department of Chemistry, this new material could help make cleaner energy technologies, like solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), more practical and affordable.
