QuantumSphere Clean Energy Expert Dr. Kim McGrath to Present at nanoTX ’06
on Role of Nano Catalysts in Accelerating Commercialization of Clean Energy Sources
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Santa Ana, CA – September 25, 2006 – QuantumSphere has announced
that Dr. Kim McGrath, Ph.D. has been selected to present at the nanoTX ’06
Conference and Expo in Dallas, TX on Thursday, September 28, at 10:00AM.
Entitled “Clean Energy and Power for the Masses," Dr. McGrath’s
presentation will provide an important update on the application of nano
catalysts in improving the performance of batteries, fuel cells and hydrogen
generation from water. She is an expert in the innovative use of these advanced
materials to accelerate the commercialization of clean, renewable energy
sources.
Dr. McGrath has over five years experience in the design of catalysts, membranes,
and components for direct oxidation fuel cells. She has extensive knowledge of
fuel cell performance evaluation and electrochemical characterization of anode
and cathode catalysts. Dr. McGrath received her B.S. in Chemistry from the University
of California, Santa Cruz and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Southern
California, where she studied composite proton exchange membranes and new binary
cathode catalysts with increased activity and methanol tolerance for direct methanol
fuel cells. She has been published in the Journal of Indian Engineering Chemistry,
Journal of Fluorine Chemistry, and Journal of Power Sources.
