Fuel cells are highly regarded for their environmental benefits, providing a clean and sustainable method of energy conversion without emitting harmful greenhouse gases. However, the development of fuel cells has faced challenges due to high costs, largely stemming from the expensive cathode electrocatalysts needed for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy’s ( SECM ) ability to provide localized and detailed electrochemical data makes it a valuable tool for advancing catalyst design in fuel cells, enabling optimized, sustainable, and efficient energy solutions.
