Fuel cells development required stable, active and more abundant catalytic materials. Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is the key process to enhance better activity and reduce the fabrication costs. Pt-based has proven to be the best catalyst for ORR and greater efforts has been made in terms of reducing the Pt content in the electrodes, reduce electrode thickness and enhance better catalytic activities. To overcome many of the challenges present, the catalyst layer studies are the great importance in the fuel cell community. Understanding catalyst layer with new catalytic materials, and configurations requires the development of methodological approach to relate structure, …
