They design catalyst materials for water electrolysis\/hydrogen production that match or exceed the performance of current platinum catalysts for lower costs. The Clinic team characterized the electrochemical efficiency of these new catalysts and worked to maximize their performance-per-dollar through sourcing low-cost recycled materials for manufacturing, magnetically enhancing the electrolysis reaction and developing a cost-composition-performance model to achieve the optimal composition.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Platalytix Engineering\/Global, 2025\u201326 Liaison(s): Dr. Kevin Laws, Dr. Caitlin Healy Advisor(s): Ethan Ritz \u201912 Students(s): Emily Kendrick (TL-S), Miranda Brandt [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[164,186],"tags":[770],"class_list":["post-14889","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-engineering","category-global","tag-platalytix"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14889","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14889"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14889\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14932,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14889\/revisions\/14932"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14889"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14889"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14889"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
