Gatalo, Hodnik, Bele and Gaberšček are awarded the Puh Prize
Dr Matija Gatalo, Associate Prof. Dr Nejc Hodnik, Dr Marjan Bele and Prof. Dr Miran Gaberšček, National Institute of Chemistry and ReCatalyst, are awarded the Puh Prize for outstanding achievements for developing a new method for making fuel cell catalysts.
Dr Matija Gatalo and his colleagues Prof. Dr Nejc Hodnik, Dr Marjan Bele and Prof. Dr Miran Gaberšček have developed a breakthrough method for producing fuel cell catalysts that significantly reduces the need for precious platinum. This will enable the wider and more affordable use of fuel cells in the transport and energy sectors, contributing to reduced CO2 emissions and the transition to a hydrogen economy. The innovation has led to the success of the National Institute of Chemistry’s spin-off company ReCatalyst, which collaborates with market-leading global partners.
The award ceremony will take place on November 28, 2024 at 20:00 in the Gallus Hall of the Cankarjev dom.
The award ceremony will be broadcast on TVSLO at 22:00 on the same day.
