These highly efficient, clean energy conversion devices require very active catalysts for the chemical reaction—the oxygen reduction reaction, or the “lifeblood” that makes a fuel cell efficiently function. They then used high-temperature pyrolysis to convert the atoms to catalytically active sites within the framework.
