Development of efficient and durable catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), an important reaction in fuel cells and metal air batteries, is highly desirable. Moreover, the futuristic catalysts for these applications need to be costeffective in order to ensure a competitive edge for these devices in the energy market. This article describes the synthesis of a cost-effective and efficient electrocatalyst for ORR It is based on supporting CoMn alloy oxide nano particles on N-doped porous graphene through a simple and scalable microwave irradiation method. Microwave irradiation was found to be very crucial for the fast creation of pores in the graphene framework with a concomitant formation of the CoMn alloy oxide nanoparticles. A series of catalysts have been synthesized by varying the Co:Mn ratio, among which, the one with the Co:Mn ratio of 2:1 [designated as CoMn/pNGr(2:1)] displayed remarkably higher ORR activity in 0.1 M KOH solution. It showed a similar to 60 mV potential shift with a low Tafel slope of 74 mV/decade, which is comparable to that derived from the commercial Pt/C catalyst. This high activity of CoMn/pNGr(2:1) has been credited to the cooperative effect arising from the metal entities and the defects present in the N-doped porous graphene. Finally, real system-level validations of the use of CoMn/pNGr(2:1) as cathode catalyst could be performed by fabricating and testing single-cells of an anion-exchange membrane fuel cell (AEMFC) and a primary Zn-air battery, which successfully demonstrated the efficiency of the catalyst to facilitate ORR in real integrated systems of the single-cell assemblies.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.614</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Manna, Narugopal</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Singh, Mayank</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kurungot, Sreekumar</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Microporous 3D-structured hierarchically entangled graphene-supported Pt3Co alloy catalyst for PEMFC application with process-friendly features</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ACS Applied Materials &amp; Interfaces</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">microwave synthesis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">N-doped porous 3D graphene</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ORR</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PEMFC</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">polyol synthesis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pt3Co alloy</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2023</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JUN </style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">28023-28035</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;
	To improve the oxygen reduction reaction(ORR) performance in aproton-exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) cathode with respect tomass activity and durability, a suitable electrocatalyst design strategyis essentially needed. Here, we have prepared a sub-three nm-sizedplatinum (Pt)-cobalt (Co) alloy (Pt3Co)-supportedN-doped microporous 3D graphene (Pt3Co/pNEGF) by usingthe polyol synthesis method. A microwave-assisted synthesis methodwas employed to prepare the catalyst based on the 3D porous carbonsupport with a large pore volume and dense micro-/mesoporous surfaces.The ORR performance of Pt3Co/pNEGF closely matches withthe state-of-the-art commercial Pt/C catalyst in0.1 M HClO4, with a small overpotential of 10 mV. The 3Dmicroporous structure of the N-doped graphene significantly improvesthe mass transport of the reactant and thus the overall ORR performance.As a result of the lower loading of Pt in Pt3Co/pNEGF ascompared to that in Pt/C, the alloy catalyst achieved 1.5 times highermass activity than Pt/C. After 10,000 cycles, the difference in theelectrochemically active surface area (ECSA) and half-wave potential(E (1/2)) of Pt3Co/pNEGF is foundto be 5 m(2) g(Pt) (-1) (Delta ECSA)and 24 mV (Delta E (1/2)), whereas, forPt/C, these values are 9 m(2) g(Pt) (-1) and 32 mV, respectively. Finally, in a realistic perspective, single-celltesting of a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) was made by sandwichingthe Pt3Co/pNEGF-coated gas diffusion layers as the cathodedisplayed a maximum power density of 800 mW cm(-2) under H-2-O-2 feed conditions with aclear indication of helping the system in the mass-transfer region(i.e., the high current dragging condition). The nature of the I-V polarization shows a progressivelylower slope in this region of the polarization plot compared to asimilar system made from its Pt/C counterpart and a significantlyimproved performance throughout the polarization region in the caseof the system made from the Pt3Co/NEGF catalyst (withoutthe microwave treatment) counterpart. These results validate the betterprocess friendliness of Pt3Co/pNEGF as a PEMFC electrode-specificcatalyst owing to its unique texture with 3D architecture and well-definedporosity with better structural endurance.&lt;/p&gt;
