Platinum-Free Fuel Cells Power Data Centers | Science News

Scientists have cracked a major hurdle in clean energy by engineering a platinum-sparing fuel cell catalyst that could power data centers with hydrogen, slashing costs and grid strain. This breakthrough uses a carbon “cage” to stabilize tiny platinum particles, letting them withstand extreme heat while maintaining 85% performance after thousands of cycles. As data centers devour nearly 10% of U.S. electricity by 2030, this tech offers a durable, efficient path to sustainable digital infrastructure.
