Researchers from Stanford University have found a potential replacement for conventional metal catalysts that are used to make hydrogen fuel cells . Last year , researchers discovered a unique form of graphene , which is laser - induced . For the latest iteration, they mixed the liquid and one of three concentrations containing cobalt, iron or molybdenum metal salts. Now , they have found a way to embed metallic nanoparticles into the material , which will allow it to serve as a catalyst for fuel cells , powering their electrochemical processes . This could make fuel cells less expensive and more efficient .
