AEMFC is becoming a prominent technology in portable energy sources. In an attempt to
make it economical, non-platinum catalysts are necessary to recruit in the application …

One bottleneck hampering the widespread use of fuel cell vehicles, in particular of proton
exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), is the high cost of the cathode where the oxygen …

Over the last decade, great progress has been made in the development of non-precious
metal catalysts for the electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Among these …

Carbon nanohorns (sometimes also known as nanocones) are conical carbon
nanostructures constructed from an sp2 carbon sheet. Nanohorns require no metal catalyst …

The growing energy demand with rapid consumption of fossil fuels and continuous rise in
environmental issues have led to the development of an alternative energy conversion …

Iron and nitrogen do** of carbon materials is one of the promising pathways towards
replacing Pt/C in polymer electrolyte fuel cell cathodes. Here, we show a synthesis method …

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is usually catalyzed by precious metals. As the
kinetics of the reaction are sluggish comparatively large amounts of precious metal are …

Synthesis of high-surface-area graphene oxide for application in next-generation devices is
still challenging. In this study, we present a simple and green-chemistry procedure for the …

Naturally abundant well-decomposed peat was used as a precursor for synthesizing several
non-platinum group metal-type oxygen electrocatalysts. The materials were studied in an …

With the growth of the global economy and population, the demand for energy is increasing
sharply. The development of environmentally a benign and reliable energy supply is very …
