A research group headed by Wang Dan and Zhang Suojiang from the Institute of Process Engineering at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has pioneered the creation of a curved surface single-atom iron catalyst (CS Fe/N-C) encapsulated within a nanoscale hollow multi-shell structure (HoMS). This innovative catalyst boasts a distinctive "outer protective, inner catalytic" microenvironment, rendering it a viable substitute for precious metal catalysts like platinum in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). It exhibits remarkable output performance and long-term stability, with experimental results affirming its effectiveness.
