Nonprecious Metal Electrocatalysts derived from Metal-Organic Frameworks for Oxygen Electrocatalysis

This thesis explores the design and fabrication of nonprecious metal-carbon electrocatalysts derived from metal-organic frameworks for electrochemical oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reaction with the optimum goal of substituting precious metal electrocatalysts, to support the development and commercialization of energy conversion and storage devices for renewable energy sectors. It produced transition metals-based electrocatalyst with remarkable electrocatalytic activities and robust structural properties.
