Abstract:
Fuel cells struggle to compete with other, similar technologies, but graphene and carbon nanotubes may be able to address their relatively poor durability as a corrosion resistant catalyst support. Further improvements will come from advancements in catalyst materials, but to realize these improvements, it is desirable to understand the impact graphene and carbon nanotubes will have on catalytic activity.
Code was developed to assist with interpreting images and electrochemical measurements, some of which were adapted to solve clustering problems. Their performance was found to be comparable to standard clustering algorithms.
