Zigzag carbon as efficient and stable oxygen reduction electrocatalyst for proton exchange membrane fuel cells

Cost and stability of catalysts hinder widespread use of proton exchange membrane fuel cells. Here the authors synthesize zigzag-edged graphene nanoribbons for electrocatalysis of oxygen reduction. Employment of such a metal-free catalyst in a fuel cell yields remarkable power density and durability...
