| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) currently represent one of the most promising technologies for energy conversion. It is desirable to replace the Pt catalysts used at both of the fuel cell electrodes with non-precious metal catalysts (NPMCs). We developed a high performance NPMC for four-electron ORR, which is appropriate for use at the cathode in PEFCs. Myoglobin, which contains heme, a natural iron N4-macrocyclic cofactor, and iron salen complexes are used as the catalyst source. It is found that the Mb-based NPMC pyrolyzed at 940 °C has the highest activity toward four-electron ORR with an onset potential of 0.84 V. Our study demonstrates that myoglobin and the colencomplhas excellent potential for use as a precursor of NPMCs in construction of PEFCs.
