New catalyst with higher activity than commercial Pt/C catalyst
Current platinum (Pt) materials and alloys of Pt and other precious metals (Ni, Co, Pd, etc.) are used as fuel cell electrocatalysts. However, current materials are expensive. On the other hand, the activity efficiency of alloy made of Pt and inexpensive materials (such as carbon) was not enough for electrocatalysis. The present invention focuses on alloy made of silicon (Si) and Pt by dry process. It can be solved above problems because Si has abundant reserves. Furthermore, the developed alloy nanoparticles of Pt and Si shows 2.5 times more catalytic activity than commercially available Pt/C catalysts, and therefore it is expected to be alternative materials for fuel cell electrocatalysts.

Company information
The revenue generated from technology transfer is reinvested into universities and researchers as new research funding, which is used to create further research outcomes. To ensure the smooth operation of this cycle, known as the "Intellectual Creation Cycle," we will actively promote technology transfer. The types of seeds we handle include patents, know-how, databases, and programs. We have established a collaborative framework by concluding basic technology transfer agreements with the following universities (as of June 1, 2025): - Tohoku University - Hirosaki University - Iwate University - Akita University - Fukushima University - Yamagata University - Tohoku Gakuin University - Iwate Medical University - Fukushima Medical University - Aizu University - Miyagi University - Hokkaido University - Muroran Institute of Technology - Showa Medical University
