Nano-electrocatalyst for Oxygen Reduction Reaction : Fundamentals to Field Applications Hardback

Global warming switches our reliance from fossil fuels to green, sustainable renewable energy sources. Because of its promising nature, high-efficiency nano-electrocatalysts have sparked interest in renewable energy.

Hydrogen fuel cell/polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) vehicles are the most environmentally conscious electromobility vehicles, with a high energy density and quick refuelling technology, prompting the auto industry to launch a variety of PEM fuel cell vehicles around the world.

Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) primary research interests include fuel cells and metal-air batteries.

The sluggish kinetic reaction of ORR, which is responsible for the rate-limiting reaction at the PEM fuel cell cathodic system, further decreases energy efficiency.

Optimising ORR for market expansion with cost-effective and efficient nano-electrocatalysts, on the other hand, remains a challenge. The book covers fundamental ORR reaction kinetics theories, tools, and techniques.

It also explains the nano electrocatalysts for ORR made of noble, non-noble, and nanocarbon materials.

Finally, the book explores the applications of PEM fuel cells and metal-air batteries.
