This is not our most recent work, but we would like to share that The Nano for Energy Group has appeared in the newspaper Västerbottens-Kuriren (www.vk.se), where the production of PdW catalyst using a conventional microwave oven is highlighted. Here you can read the full article published by Västerbottens-Kuriren (in Swedish). Our results were previously published in the journal of Nature communications (Nat. Commun. 5, 5253, 2014), where the production of PdW alloy with a Pd content of only 11 At%, exhibit similar efficiency as a pure platinum catalyst for oxygen reduction. The synthesis is performed in an ordinary kitchen microwave oven.
