The burgeoning field of anion-exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) presents a promising avenue to circumvent the reliance on scarce and costly Pt-based catalysts, offering a zero-carbon emission alternative. Despite the success of numerous noble metal-free cathodic oxygen reduction reaction catalys...
