Development of non-Pt-based electrocatalyst for fuel cells and batteries with high performance, durablity, and scalability is a strong social demand for the next-generation eco-friendly energy society[1-3].

In this meeting, we summarize our recent studies on i) development of a carbon nanotube (CNT)-based two different non-Pt type fuel cell catalysts, i.e, one is pristine multi-walled carbon nanotube/iron phthalocyanine hybrids with a well-defined nanostructure that show excellent efficiency and durability for oxygen reduction reaction[2], and the other is a decorating unoxidized-carbon nanotubes with homogeneous Ni-Co spinel (and related) nanocrystals that show superior performance for oxygen evolution/reduction reactions[3].
