The future of PEMFC catalysis looks promising with ongoing research aimed at overcoming current challenges. The development of highly active, durable, and cost-effective catalysts is essential for the widespread adoption of PEMFCs. Innovations such as bimetallic catalysts, core-shell structures, and advanced support materials are expected to play a significant role in achieving these goals. Additionally, understanding the fundamental mechanisms of catalysis at the molecular level will be critical for the rational design of next-generation catalysts.
