Oxygen reduction catalysts on nanoparticle electrodes

K. C. Tsao, H. Yang

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

This chapter presents the principle, design, and synthesis of electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), especially for applications in cathode of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The focus is on the precision-controlled metal nanoparticle catalysts that are generated through solution-phase synthesis. The morphology of the nanostructures is tailored by utilizing ligands and adsorbates to achieve improved catalytic performance. Nonplatinum group metal catalysts and scalable processes for the production of nanocatalysts are also covered.
