Abstract

A non-precious metal catalyst (NPMC), with nano-porous structure and high BET surface area, is prepared by pyrolyzing the polyaniline on carbon nanospheres using ferric chloride both as an oxidant and iron source. Electrochemical test results show that the catalyst has a high activity and much better stability than that of commercial Pt/C in acid medium.
