Electrocatalysts for oxygen electrodes. Final report.

摘要

The objectives of the research were: to develop further understanding of the factors controlling O(sub 2) reduction and generation on various electrocatalysts, including transition metal macrocycles and oxides: to use this understanding to identify and develop much higher activity catalysts, both monofunction and bifunction; and to establish how catalytic activity for a given O(sub 2) electrocatalyst depends on catalyst-support interactions and to identify stable catalyst supports for bifunctional electrodes.
