Carbons for fuel cell energy generation
The growing interest in renewable energy has driven the development of fuel cell technologies. However, their mass use still depends on improving durability and lowering costs. Electrode materials play a crucial role in the cost, stability and performance of fuel cells. A suitable electrode should have a high specific surface area, electroactivity, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity and be cost-effective. Carbon materials have been used as one of the electrode materials almost from the beginning, as carbon is an abundant element and carbon-based materials can be specifically adapted for this purpose. This review provides a detailed description of the evolution of carbon materials as electrocatalyst supports for fuel cells. Starting with the traditional catalysts of platinum supported on carbon black and how alternatives have been proposed with the aim to reduce the content of noble metals or even replace them completely with other active elements such as transition metals, oxides or/and other heter
