Significant research is focused on improving the performance of ORR catalysts through various strategies:
Nanostructuring: Creating nanoscale features can increase the surface area and enhance catalytic activity. Doping: Incorporating different elements into the catalyst structure can improve its activity and stability. Support Materials: Using conductive supports like carbon can enhance the electrical conductivity and durability of the catalyst. Core-shell structures: These can optimize both activity and stability by combining different materials in a single catalyst particle.
