“…The ratio between the two intensity peaks, I D /I G , equal to 1.17, is a sign of the high degree of disorder of the carbon structure, indicating the presence of abundant defects [76,77]. The high value of the I D /I G ratio indicates that the catalyst may have nitrogen functionalities at the edge, such as pyridinic-N and pyrrolic-N [78], as also supported by XPS results (Table 1).…”

Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) are emerging technologies for the electrochemical conversion of the chemical energy of a fuel (methanol) directly into electrical energy, with a low environmental impact and high efficiency. Yet, before this technology can reach a large-scale diffusion, specific issues must be solved, in particular, the high cost of the cell components. In a direct methanol fuel cell system, high capital costs are mainly derived from the use of noble metal catalysts; therefore, the development of low-cost electro-catalysts, satisfying the target requirements of high performance and durability, represents an important challenge. The research is currently addressed to the development of metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) materials as cheap and sustainable catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in an acid environment, for application in polymer electrolyte fuel cells fueled by hydrogen or alcohol. In particular, this mini-review summarizes the recent advancements achieved in DMFCs using M-N-C catalysts. The presented analysis is restricted to M-N-C catalysts mounted at the cathode of a DMFC or investigated in rotating disk electrode (RDE) configuration for the ORR in the presence of methanol in order to study alcohol tolerance. The main synthetic routes and characteristics of the catalysts are also presented.

“…[3,[6][7][8] Fe-N-C systems, some of the most effective candidates to replace platinum have been synthesized in a variety of different ways, from graphene-based precursors and template-derived porous carbons to template free systems. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Most methods, however, involve tedious protocols which are difficult to scale up in a cost efficient manner on an industrial level.…”

A direct, template-free synthesis of a novel, active Fe-N-C oxygen reduction reaction catalyst by the pyrolysis of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid ferric sodium salt is demonstrated. Detailed physical characterization of the catalyst is carried out by surface area measurement, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy in addition to electrochemical analysis using Rotating Ring Disk Electrode measurements. We study the effects of synthesis temperature on graphitization, surface area and their concurrent effects on the catalytic performance of the final products.
