Identification of durable and non-durable FeNx sites in Fe-N-C materials for proton exchange membrane fuel cells

Jingkun Li et al.

Summary: Fe-N-C materials show promise as an alternative to platinum in acidic polymer fuel cells, but limited understanding of their operando degradation hinders rational approaches to improved durability. Two distinct FeNx sites in the catalysts degrade differently during the oxygen reduction reaction, with one site substantially contributing after 50 hours of operation.

Resolving the Dilemma of Fe-N-C Catalysts by the Selective Synthesis of Tetrapyrrolic Active Sites via an Imprinting Strategy

Davide Menga et al.

Summary: By identifying a paradigm shift in the synthesis of Fe-N-C catalysts and applying fundamental principles, it was possible to overcome the dilemma of low active site densities. Through successive low- and high-temperature ion exchange reactions, a high loading of atomically dispersed Fe was achieved, resulting in a phase-pure catalyst entirely composed of tetrapyrrolic Fe-N-4 sites. The density of these sites was significantly higher than previously reported, showcasing a promising advancement in single-site fuel cell catalysts.

Toward Rational Design of Single-Atom Catalysts

Bosi Peng et al.

Summary: Downscaling catalyst size has been used to improve the atomic utilization efficiency of catalysts, with single-atom catalysts (SACs) representing the pinnacle of this process. However, the development of SACs still relies heavily on trial-and-error experiments due to a lack of comprehensive understanding of their unique properties and structure-activity relationships. Major challenges for future research on SACs include precisely controlled synthesis, advanced operando characterizations, and the discovery of unconventional catalytic mechanisms.

Chemical vapour deposition of Fe-N-C oxygen reduction catalysts with full utilization of dense Fe-N4 sites

Li Jiao et al.

Summary: Replacing scarce and expensive platinum with metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction in proton exchange membrane fuel cells has been impeded by the low active site density and site utilization of M-N-C. These limitations have now been overcome by implementing trans-metalation of Zn-N-4 sites into Fe-N-4 sites.
