Abstract
Platinum-group-metal (PGM)-free materials have been promised as potential replacement for Pt as the cathodic catalyst in proton exchange membrane fuel cells. Critical design criteria of the PGM-free catalyst reside on the high active site density to compensate its generally lower turn-over frequency and improved mass-charge transfers during the electrocatalysis. This short review summarizes the research activities in recent years from our team at Argonne National Laboratory in preparing highly active oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts using rationally designed porous organic precursors, as reported in the First Telluride Science Research Center (TSRC) Workshop on PGM-free Electrocatalysis in 2019. More recent studies by others are also discussed.
