- A sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) has highly hindered the performance and commercialization of current fuel cell technology. This work presents a facile ambient synthesis method to produce novel organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials, which exhibit higher catalytic activity, higher stability and lower cost than most other reported carbon-based catalysts. The new nanomaterials not only lead to a breakthrough of the current ORR catalysts for fuel cells, but also impact electrode materials for batteries and supercapacitors, due to the cost-effective and facile synthesis process. The work received high citations from journals such as Adv Mater, Nano Energy, Chem Review, and Green Chem.
