Abstract

Abstract The development of efficient and durable Pt-free catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is extremely important to realize the world-wide commercialization of the clean energy technologies obstructed by the high cost and scarcity of the Pt-based catalysts. As a potential alternative to such catalysts, this investigation addresses the facile synthesis of an efficient, durable and highly poison-tolerant metal-free N-doped carbon-Nd2O3 hybrid bifunctional electro-catalyst for {ORR} and water splitting compared to commercial Pt/C catalyst. Chitosan obtained from crustacean
