The performance of fixed-gas unitized regenerative fuel cells (FG-URFCs) are limited by the bifunctional activity of the oxygen electrocatalyst. It is essential to have a good bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst which can exhibit high activity for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). In this regard, Pt-Pb2Ru2O7-x is synthesized by depositing Pt on Pb2Ru2O7-x wherein Pt individually exhibits high ORR while Pb2Ru2O7-x shows high OER and moderate ORR activity. Pt-Pb2Ru2O7-x exhibits higher OER (η@10mAcm-2 = 0.25 ± 0.01 V) and ORR (η@-3mAcm-2 = -0.31 ± 0.02 V) activity in comparison to benchmark OER (IrO2, η@10mAcm-2 = 0.35 ± 0.02 V) and ORR (Pt/C, η@-3mAcm-2 = -0.33 ± 0.02 V) electrocatalysts, respectively. Pt-Pb2Ru2O7-x shows a lower bifunctionality index (η@10mAcm-2, OER− η@-3mAcm-2, ORR) of 0.56 V with more symmetric OER–ORR activity profile than both Pt (>1.0 V) and Pb2Ru2O7-x (0.69 V) making it more useful for the AEM (anion exchange membrane) URFC or metal-air battery applications. FG-URFC tested with Pt-Pb2Ru2O7-x and Pt/C as bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst and bifunctional hydrogen electrocatalyst, respectively, yields a mass-specific current density of 715 ± 11 A/gcat-1 at 1.8 V and 56 ± 2 A/gcat-1 at 0.9 V under electrolyzer mode and fuel-cell mode, respectively. The FG-URFC shows a round-trip efficiency of 75% at 0.1 A/cm−2, underlying improvement in AEM FG-URFC electrocatalyst design.

Based on nanotechnology, nanocomposites are synthesized using nanoparticles (NP), which have some advantages in terms of multifunctional, economic, and environmental factors. In this review, we discuss the inorganic applications as well as catalytic applications of NPs. Recently, structural defects, heteroatomic doping, and heterostructures of such efficient ideal catalysts and their application as multifunctional catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in water splitting. It has been verified that the catalysts used in oxygen reduction reaction and OER can be used effectively in metal/air batteries. Moreover, it has been reported that high-efficiency catalysts are required to implement urea oxidation reaction (UOR), which involves a six-electron reaction, as an electrochemical reaction. We expect that this review can be applied to sustainable and diverse electrochemistry fields.
