Enhancing ORR Selectivity via β-Functionalized Porphyrin Catalysts

This research hypothesizes that optimizing adsorption in Fe-porphyrin-based metalloporphyrin catalysts enhances oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) selectivity and efficiency, addressing challenges in renewable energy. A diverse catalyst library will be created, characterized using advanced techniques, and evaluated for ORR performance. The project aims to expand the catalysts to durable covalent organic frameworks (COFs) while investigating structure-activity relationships for improved stability...
