Scientists in the US and China have developed a new low-temperature catalyst for producing high-purity hydrogen gas while simultaneously using up carbon monoxide (CO) via the water-gas shift (WGS) reaction. This catalyst produces a purer form of hydrogen to feed into the fuel cell. The reaction is favored at a low working temperature.
