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

In this meeting, we summarize our recent studies on i) seven different nanocarbons /iron phthalocyanine (II) hybrids with well-defined nanostructures that show excellent efficiency and durability for oxygen reduction reaction[2,3], iii)decorating unoxidized-carbon nanotubes with homogeneous spinel nanocrystals that show superior performance for oxygen evolution/reduction reactions[4].
