Biogenic precious metal-based magnetic nanocatalyst for enhanced oxygen reduction

Biogenic precious metal-based magnetic nanocatalyst for enhanced oxygen reduction

This work contributes to the development of electrocatalysts for use in polymer electrolyte fuel cells, specifically for the cathodic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). To achieve this, electrochemical analysis was conducted using biofabricated platinum (bio-Pt) catalyst. Bio-Pt per se was found to be...
