Pt-based catalysts are state-of-the-art cathodes in fuel cells, but they experience a trade-off between activity and durability. Now a Pt nanocatalyst with embedded cobalt oxide clusters is shown to promote stability during proton exchange membrane fuel cell operation without sacrificing activity, achieving 88.2% mass activity retention after 30,000 accelerated stress test cycles.
