Recent Advances

Exploring cheap and stable electrocatalysts to replace Pt for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is significant for the large-scale application of fuel cells, especially in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. In this paper, we have briefly reviewed the recent advances in the Fe (or Co)/N/C ORR catalysts in acidic medium including their preparation, structural characterization and related mechanism.
