Influence of particle size and morphology of Pt₃Co/C on the oxygen reduction reaction

Polymer electrolyte fuel cells have shown great potential in providing clean energy with no emissions. The kinetics of the cathode reaction, i.e. the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are sluggish necessitating high loadings of the catalyst metal, i.e. platinum. Platinum is a limited resource and expe...
