Article Synopsis
  • - Non-precious-metal catalysts show potential as eco-friendly substitutes for platinum in fuel cells, specifically for oxygen reduction and evolution reactions.
  • - The study focused on mixed metal phthalocyanine-modified carbon nanotubes, discovering that FeCoN-MWCNT and FeMnN-MWCNT exhibit strong oxygen reduction activity, while FeNiN-MWCNT performs well in the oxygen evolution reaction.
  • - The best-performing catalyst, FeCoN-MWCNT, achieved a peak power density of 692 mW/cm² when tested in anion-exchange membrane fuel cells, indicating promising efficiency for practical applications.

We have fabricated MAPI solar cells using as selective contacts PEDOT:PSS polymer for holes and PCBM-C70 fullerene derivative for electrons. The thickness of MAPI, PCBM-C70, and PEDOT:PSS layers has been varied in order to evaluate the contribution of each layer to the final device performance. We have measured the devices capacitance under illumination and the charge carrier's lifetime using photoinduced time-resolved techniques.
