The development of efficient non-precious metal catalysts (NPMCs) can help reduce the cost of fuel cells and accelerate their commercialization.
At present, non-precious metal catalysts suffer from poor stability in proton exchange membrane fuel cells, and their degradation mechanism at the molecular scale is unclear.
Recently, researchers led by Profs. Sun Gongquan, Wang Suli and Wang Junhu from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) revealed the…
