title = "Non-precious metal oxygen reduction catalysts for fuel cells: A good or a bad idea?",
abstract = "Non-precious metal catalysts (NPMCs) have shown promising activity towards oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), both in basic and acidic media. However, the use of NPMCs in acidic Nafion{\textregistered}-based polymer electrolyte fuel cells has been hampered by relatively low activity and stability when compared to platinum-based catalysts. In order to overcome these issues, a new class of ORR NPMCs was developed that involves heat treatment as a key step in the NPMC synthesis. This presentation provides a review of the progress in research on heattreated non-precious metal catalysts, with an emphasis on the efforts focusing on the active site identification and correlation between catalyst performance and morphology.",
