In this study, highly efficient and low-cost oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst is essential to improve the cost competitiveness of the proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). One potential approach of cost reduction is to apply low loading Pt over a catalytically active support made of platinum metal group free (PGM-free) material to compensate the overall ORR activity through synergistic catalysis between Pt and PGM-free support. In this report, we investigated a series of catalysts prepared by adding low-loading Pt over ORR active support prepared through thermally activated Co/Zn methyl-imidazolate framework (Co/Zn-ZIF) at various Co/Zn ratios. Catalytic activity measurement and structural characterization were performed in an attempt to gain better understanding of certain structural factors that could influence the catalytic performance.
