Due to the scarcity and high cost of precious metals, the hydrogen economy would ultimately rely on non-platinum-group-metal (non-PGM) catalysts. The non-PGM-catalyzed oxygen reduction reaction, which is the bottleneck for the application of hydrogen fuel cells, is challenging because of the limited...
