5. Catalyst, Chemical Analysis
Platinum is the only and unsubstitutable catalyst for fuel cells. Silver is the major material to make silver zinc battery. Feb, 2008, silver price is 17 USD per ounce, or 0. 6 USD per gram. Fine silver powder used into silver zinc battery is 1. 8 USD per gram. Platinum price is 2, 048 USD per ounce or 72 USD per gram.
The battery makers have to comprise the battery performance by using less these expensive metals to make fuel cells or silver zinc battery to be cost effective enough to compete with Lithium Ion batteries. For battery makers, they are thirsty to find new components which are as effective as their predecessors but much less expensive.
The surface area is the key. Chemical reactions take place on the surface area to provide the electricity. The size of surface decides energy density, and energy density decides the battery life. In another word, the surface area of component is bigger, the life is longer. Battery makers are seeking components which have much larger surface areas but much less weight and size (or cost) .
Filigree Nanotech has developed an innovative manufacturing process by utilizing silver nanotubes to significantly increase the surface area of the silver and platinum components. The silver and platinum nanotubes have 10, 000-30, 000 times more surface area which their counterpart powders can offer, at the same weight. The Filigree's nanotube products can significantly reduce the battery cost, improve the battery life and decrease the recharging time, which are three critical dimensions for mobile electronics and hybrid vehicles.
While lithium-ion technology is reaching a plateau, silver and platinum nanotube powered batteries have plenty of runways to increase both energy density and cycle life.
The Silver nanotubes enable the silver zinc battery to offer extremely high ratio of energy to volume (Wh / I) for applications such as PCs, cell phones and consumer electronics.
Platinum is the critical catalyst of the fuel cells. Platinum nanotubes totally fulfill the industrial requirements. By significantly increased surface area, platinum nanotubes provide no paralleled performance increase on the battery life and efficiency to the fuel cells.
