Fe-N-C Electrocatalysts' Durability: Effects of Single Atoms' Mobility and Clustering

Kavita Kumar et al.

Summary: Second pyrolysis of Fe-N-C catalysts leads to larger mesopore size, higher iron content, and N-pyridinic moieties, resulting in improved ORR activity and selectivity. Aging morphology of catalysts varies significantly depending on whether they underwent a second pyrolysis, with Fe-clusters formation and partial corrosion observed in Fe-HT2 after load cycling aging at 80 degrees C. No clustering was observed at 60 degrees C, suggesting potential guidelines for enhancing stability of Fe-N-C materials.

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.

Liang Ding et al.

Summary: In this review, the recent progress in understanding the active sites of M-N-C catalysts and the relationships between the structures of catalysts/catalyst layers and device performances are summarized. Delicately designed synthetic strategies at the catalyst level suggest that attractive device performances can be achieved by tailoring the intrinsic activity and density of the catalyst active sites while engineering the porosity of catalysts. Integrating catalyst ink into cathode catalyst layers in PGM-free PEMFCs is crucial for translating the impressive ORR performance of catalysts in RDE tests to fuel cell performance.
