Electrospun Iron/Polyacrylonitrile Derived Nanofibrous Catalysts for Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Current proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) suffers from high material costs due to the use of platinum based catalysts necessary for the catalysis of the notoriously slow oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) occurring at the cathode of the cell. The use of significantly cheaper non-precious metal catalysts over expensive platinum catalysts can significantly reduce the material cost of PEMFCs. In the current work, non-precious nanofibrous …
