Description

Mingrui Liu and four co-authors spike an iron catalyst with hafnium and watch it outlast its rivals in two energy devices. Iron-nitrogen-carbon catalysts are the leading cheap stand-ins for platinum in fuel cells and lithium-oxygen batteries, but they fade. The new material grows from a hafnium-bearing framework, co-doped with iron and nitrogen in a porous carbon. Hafnium reshapes the iron sites' electronics and pins them in place.

In a fuel cell cathode the catalyst hit a peak power density of 1.15 watts per square centimeter. Lithium-oxygen cells reached huge discharge capacity with 200 millivolts less charging penalty than the undoped version. Endurance improved in both devices.
