A perspective on the controlled synthesis of iron-based nanoalloys for the oxygen reduction reaction

Abstract

The worsening ecological environment is calling for clean energy alternatives, among which the hydrogen fuel cells have been one of the hot topics. The commercialized Pt/C catalyst for oxygen reduction...

Agri-waste derived electroactive carbon–iron oxide nanocomposite for oxygen reduction reaction: an experimental and theoretical study

“…Also, ORR activity is determined by the overall activity of the catalyst and the exposed active sites. 4 The non-precious (Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni-based), [5][6][7][8] metalnitrogen-carbon, 9 hetero-atoms doped carbon materials, 10,11 based electrocatalysts have gained attention due to sufficient active sites, close to 4e − reduction pathway, and long-term durability. 12 Further, lignin-rich biomass-derived carbon has attracted attention to developing greener, economic biomassbased electrocatalysts due to low-cost, high, and stable electrocatalytic activity.…”
