Abstract

Some global difficulties in the modern period include energy storage conversion. Researchers have looked to renewable energy resources to discover long-term answers to this dilemma. Fuel cells are one example of prospective energy producing technology. Although these technologies appear to be very enticing, they are known to be expensive due to high expenses. Catalyst costs, as well as concerns concerning energy density. Pt based Electrocatalysts have traditionally been used to drive ORR and offer efficient power outputs. However, cost constraints have limited the use of these electrocatalysts, rendering them inefficient. Apart from the high price, Pt-based Electrodes are prone to time-dependent drift and CO deactivation, both of which occur gradually. Electrocatalysts deteriorate over time, reducing the efficiency of fuel cells. This is why alternative electrocatalysts are in high demand for future energy applications. This review covers the comparative study of Platinium and Non-Platinium based electrocatalyst in fuel cells, their shortcomings and recent advancement for efficient and optimized electrocatalyst.
