How Do Nanostructures Improve Electrocatalyst Performance in Green Hydrogen Production?

As the world transitions toward cleaner energy systems, green hydrogen has emerged as a key solution for decarbonization. At the heart of this technology are electrocatalysts—materials that accelerate the electrochemical reactions needed to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. One of the most impactful advancements in this field is the...

Mesoporous Carbon for Silicon–Carbon Anodes

Designing Carbon Hosts for High-Stability Lithium-Ion Batteries Introduction Lithium-ion battery development continues to push toward higher energy density. While cathode materials receive much of the attention, the anode remains a key constraint in achieving the next generation of cell performance. Conventional graphite anodes have a theoretical capacity of 372 mAh/g,...

How Porosity and Pore Structure of Catalyst Support Improve Catalyst Reactivity

In advanced electrochemical catalyst systems, the performance of catalysts is not only determined by their chemical composition but also by the physical structure of their support materials. One of the most critical structural features influencing catalytic efficiency is porosity of the catalyst support. Understanding how pore size, distribution, and connectivity...

Nanoporous Carbon for Supercapacitors: Why Pore Architecture Matters

Supercapacitors are energy storage devices designed for high power and are widely used in regenerative braking, grid stabilization, backup power, and hybrid energy systems. Porous carbon materials are commonly used as electrode materials in supercapacitors due to their high surface area, tunable porosity, availability, and relatively low cost. When engineers...

What are the Key Challenges in Reducing Platinum Use in Catalysts?

Platinum is the gold standard in catalysis—quite literally, in terms of cost and prestige. For decades, it has been the workhorse of the chemical and automotive industries, particularly in hydrogen fuel cells and catalytic converters. Its ability to accelerate chemical reactions without being consumed makes it invaluable. However, platinum has...

Momentum Materials to Exhibit at H2 & FC Expo Tokyo 2026

Momentum Materials will be exhibiting at H2 & FC Expo this March in Tokyo. We will be presenting our nanoporous carbon materials designed for hydrogen fuel cells, electrolyzers, batteries, and supercapacitors. For electrochemical systems operating at changing environment, carbon is no longer a passive component. Pore architecture, surface chemistry, and...

Nanoporous Carbon for CO₂ Electrolysis Systems — Enabling Scalable Carbon Utilization in the Net-Zero Transition

COâ‚‚ Electrolysis in the Net-Zero Landscape Reaching global net-zero emissions requires a closed carbon cycle to supplement intermittent renewable electricity. Since heavy industry, chemicals, and aviation still depend on carbon-based molecules, we must shift from extracting fossil carbon to using captured COâ‚‚ as a sustainable feedstock. COâ‚‚ electrolysis offers a...

Mesoporous Carbon in Electrochemical Sensors: Structure–Performance Relationships

Electrochemical sensors are simple in principle: a chemical event becomes an electrical signal. They are widely used because they can offer very low detection limits (down to picomolar levels in some systems), fast analytical response, and relatively inexpensive instrumentation. Depending on the sensing mode, the measurable output may be current,...

How Are Pitch-Based Carbon Materials Shaping Aerospace Composite Technologies?

The aerospace industry operates on a razor’s edge. Every gram of weight saved translates to fuel efficiency or increased payload capacity. Every degree of temperature managed ensures mission success rather than catastrophic failure. For decades, engineers relied on standard composites to solve these problems. But as we push the boundaries...

High-Durability Pt/NCP Catalysts for PEM Fuel Cells

Fuel-cell catalyst performance often looks great at beginning-of-life—but carbon corrosion and catalyst degradation quickly become limiting factors. Momentum Materials developed Pt/NCP Catalysts™ using a nanoporous carbon support designed to stabilize Pt nanoparticles under aggressive operating conditions. This case study highlights how Pt/NCP delivers exceptional carbon durability, stable mass activity, and...

Mesoporous Carbon Cost for Hydrogen Fuel Cells:

What Drives the Price — and How to Choose the Right Material When selecting carbon supports for PEM fuel cells, engineers often encounter a wide spread in pricing among materials that are all labeled mesoporous carbon. For example, Ketjenblack, Toyo Tanso’s CNovelâ„¢, and Momentum Materials’ NCP Supportsâ„¢ and MCP are...
