- The heart of hydrogen electric vehicles overcomes fuel cell corrosion problems
A hydrogen fuel cell, an eco-friendly power generation device that generates electric energy using hydrogen as a fuel, plays the same role as an engine in a hydrogen electric vehicle. However, there is a problem in that the life of the fuel cell is not long because the carbon particles used to support the platinum catalyst, which is a key component of the fuel cell, are easily corroded. A corroded fuel cell needs to be replaced with a new one, and the fuel cell replacement cost, which costs hundreds of thousands of won to tens of millions of won, is inevitably burdensome for the borrower.
