Additionally, BASF presents the Selectra® catalysts product line. Under the brand name Selectra®-E, precious metal catalysts for fuel cell electrodes are developed and commercialized. A recent development is the new Selectra®-E-CRC series: high performance catalysts for fuel cells combining high activity with excellent long term stability.
