Title:
NON-PGM CATHODE CATALYSTS FOR FUEL CELL APPLICATION DERIVED FROM HEAT TREATED HETEROATOMIC AMINES PRECURSORS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/174344
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method of preparing M-N-C catalysts utilizing a sacrificial support approach and inexpensive and readily available polymer precursors as the source of nitrogen and carbon is disclosed. Exemplary polymer precursors include non-porphyrin precursors with no initial catalytic activity. Examples of suitable non-catalytic non-porphyrin precursors include, but are not necessarily limited to low molecular weight precursors that form complexes with iron such as 4-aminoantipirine, phenylenediamine, hydroxysuccinimide, ethanolamine, and the like.
