This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project addresses the synthesis of new electrocatalysts from metallomacrocycles by the catalyzed pyrolysis of the complexes in mesoporous materials. It is anticipated that the approach will give rise to novel nanoparticulate carbon supported metals, which will be initially implemented in the advanced anode electrocatalysis of direct methanol oxidation fuel cells (DMFC) and in cathode electrochemistry as oxygen reduction catalysts. Thermal decomposition of these compounds is expected to result in atomic or small cluster metal active sites supported by and bound to nitrogeneous nanotube materials. Work proposed will consist of synthesizing the subject electrocatalysts followed by their electrochemical performance evaluation under representative proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell conditions for oxygen electroreduction and direct methanol oxidation.Potential customers for these technology include automotive companies. In additon, application to stationary power sources is also possible. Consequently, electric power utilities would find interest in the proposed technology as well as power for commercial and industrial installations.

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目解决了新的电催化剂的合成从金属大环通过催化热解的配合物在介孔材料。预计该方法将产生新的纳米颗粒碳载金属，这将最初实施在先进的阳极直接甲醇氧化燃料电池（DMFC）的电催化和阴极电化学作为氧还原催化剂。这些化合物的热分解预期导致由含氮纳米管材料支撑并结合到含氮纳米管材料的原子或小簇金属活性位点。建议的工作将包括合成的主题电催化剂，然后在代表性的质子交换膜（PEM）燃料电池条件下进行氧电还原和直接甲醇氧化的电化学性能评估。这些技术的潜在客户包括汽车公司。 此外，还可以应用于固定电源。 因此，电力公司将对所提出的技术以及商业和工业设施的电力感兴趣。
