Claims21
-53. (canceled)
A composite material represented by a formula M/C, wherein M is at least one metal material and C is at least one carbon material, wherein said composite material is for electrocatalysis in an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and/or in a peroxide oxidation reaction (POR).
An electrochemical cell comprising an electrode assembly comprising a working electrode and a counter electrode, wherein said working electrode is or is at least partially coated with a composite material represented by a formula MIC, wherein M is at least one metal material and C is at least one carbon material.
A battery comprising an electrode assembly comprising a working electrode and a counter electrode, wherein said working electrode is or comprises a material that exhibits reversible activity for the reduction of oxygen to H2O2 or HO2− during ORR and for the oxidation of H2O2 or HO2− to oxygen during POR.
