Ionic liquid (IL)-modified carbon-supported catalysts have demonstrated significant improvements in oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity. However, transition of this result from the half-cell to the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has been challenging. Presented here is a processing m...
