Substituted iron phthalocyanines : electrocatalytic activity towards O₂ reduction in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell cathode environment as a function of temperature
In this thesis five iron phthalocyanines (FePc’s), four of which having different electron withdrawing or electron donating substituents, were evaluated as 0₂ reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts. The experimental approach simulated a PEM fuel cell environment using both ex-situ electrochemical tec...
