Patent · Tue Mar 15 00:00:00 EDT 2016

OSTI ID:1242992

Wood, Thomas E.; Atanasoski, Radoslav; Schmoeckel, Alison K.

This invention relates to non-precious metal fuel cell cathode catalysts, fuel cells that contain these catalysts, and methods of making the same. The fuel cell cathode catalysts are highly nitrogenated carbon materials that can contain a transition metal. The highly nitrogenated carbon materials can be supported on a nanoparticle substrate.
