Fuel Cell Catalysts Market Opportunities, Strategies, and Forecasts, 2007 to 2013
I enclose details of our fuel cell catalysts report.
Surface plasmon resonance and synthesis procedures for nanoparticles are a basis for discovering more efficient catalysts. Nanoparticle catalysts lower the activation energy of the reaction, and increase the rate of reaction and the yield of the desired products with small amounts of material.
Metal nanoparticles generally take advantage of the electromagnetic field enhancement of noble metal nanoparticles resulting from the surface plasmon oscillations, creating variations in nanoparticles characteristics that can be leveraged to achieve better fuel cell catalysts.
The color of metal nanoparticles changes depending on the shape and size of the nanoparticle and dielectric constant of the surrounding medium. The varying characteristics of nanoparticles are needing more investigation before contributing to the basic science in a manner that creates the ability to use nanoparticles for fuel cell catalysts.
The properties of a material are dependent on particle size and shape. Materials on the 1-100nm scale have characteristics relevant to the size and scale. New properties develop on the nanoscale. Lack of symmetry and electron confinement are unique properties of nanoparticles.
The characteristics of nanoparticles do not scale linearly with size, the same material in larger quantity had different characteristics.
A high volume, portable fuel cell market is an important driver in the development and widespread use of fuel cells in all applications. Strategically, the Johnson Matthey / PolyFuel supply of membranes for portable fuel cell market partnering strategy is significant.
The market for fuel cell catalysts was $51.5 million in 2006. Markets are anticipated to grow rapidly to $2.4 billion in 2013 as stationary and portable fuel cells are implemented.
