Fish gills for low-cost electro-catalysts – BIO FUEL CELL
Part of: GS-III- S&T (PT-MAINS-PERSONALITY TEST)
Scientists at the Institute of Nano Science and Technology, Mohali, have recently come up with an efficient, low-cost electro-catalyst from fish gills that can help develop environmentally friendly energy conversion devices. This bio-inspired carbon nanostructure can help overcome the bottleneck in the realization of several renewable energy conversion and storage technologi
