- This pioneering work on ORR electrocatalysts demonstrated for the first time that only traces of Fe (0.2% at) are needed to significantly boost the electrocatalytic activity of N-doped carbons, and has led to further research using metals in carbons by the electrocatalyst community worldwide. Our material can perform as well as current state of the art ORR electrocatalyst, Pt. The impact of this is huge, as Pt is too expensive and is hindering development and commercialisation of fuel cells. This work is the result of a collaboration between Spain and the UK.
