NH<sub>3</sub>-Plasma pre-treated carbon supported active iron–nitrogen catalyst for oxygen reduction in acid and alkaline electrolytes
Roopathy Mohan, Arindam Modak, Alex Schechter
Abstract
A new strategy in the synthesis of M–N–C type catalysts was introduced through the combination of plasma pre-treatment followed by conventional pyrolysis, which demonstrated higher ORR activity and stability than pristine M–N–C catalysts.
