He will now go through with the other winners to be considered for the category’s overall Science Breakthrough of the Year 2022, announced in September.
Professor Kucernak is honoured for “Breaking the Wall to Cheaper Hydrogen Fuel”. He and his team developed new single-atom catalysts that can replace platinum as the active component in electrochemical devices and produce cheaper hydrogen fuel.
Professor Kucernak is cited as a world leader in the electrochemical interconversion of renewable electricity to chemical fuels such as hydrogen.
He is cofounder of three companies arising from innovations in his laboratories: Bramble Energy for high-volume manufacturing of electrolysers, fuel cells and electrochemical conversion devices; RFC Power for developing grid scale electricity storage; and Sweet Generator for developing new technology to clean wastewater.
