Abstract:Today's energy problems, caused by the irrational consumption of fossil fuels and, as a result, terrible environmental consequences, require the global population to quickly introduce clean energy sources. Electrochemical power sources, which include the fuel cell, provide the technological basis for electrical energy production. While proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) rely on platinum based catalysts, obtaining stable and earth abundant catalytic materials for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
