Investigation of Pt/Fe-N-C Hybrids Towards ORR in Acidic Environment

Metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) compounds such as Fe-N-Cs are currently the most promising platinum group metal free catalysts for oxygen reduction. Regarding overriding goal of reducing PEM fuel cell production costs by amount platinum, use catalytic active support is investigated in this study. Activity and stability Pt different contents on a commercial Fe-N-C compared to typical carbon black. nanoparticles well-distributed both classes. However, electrochemical surface mass activity lower Although does not profit any matter from interaction with Fe-N-C, Pt/Fe-N-C total has boosting effect ORR being important future strategies content cells.
