Research Abstract
Polymer electrolyte fuel cells convert hydrogen to electricity, heat, and water, and will help decrease CO2 emissions. However, they are expensive because of the platinum electrocatalyst. Cheaper catalysts based on nanostructured iron-decorated nitrogen-doped carbon (Fe-N-C) are being developed. Their performance is improving, but fundamental questions remain. Here we focus on two: i) How do Fe-N-C catalysts form during synthesis; and ii) How do they degrade during operation? These will be answered using advanced in-situ techniques at high temperature or during electrochemical tests.
