| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have been expected for widely using in vehicles and houses but high cost of Pt catalyst for the sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) keeps away practical use. The catalysts for PEMFC need an acid resistance and electrical conductivity.
In this study, planar metal complexes with acid resistance were treated as electrode catalysts. The control method for the molecular stacking state was developed and the relation between the stacking states and the catalytic activities was revealed. The catalyst have a short distance between metals and higher catalytic activity. Moreover, a separated stacking with planar molecules and acceptor ions with metal conductivity shows high catalytic activity.
