Pierre-Alexandre Pascone is a Doctoral candidate in his last year of study in the department of Chemical Engineering at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He obtained his Bachelor and Master degrees of Engineering at McGill University in 2011 and 2013 respectively. He has published 5 papers and owns 2 patents for work conducted during his graduate studies. His research interests are in plasma, catalysis, fuel cells, and of course, graphene-based nanomaterials.

Abstract

Introduction: A cost-effective alternative catalyst to platinum for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) is iron deposited onto nitrogen-containing graphene. In this work,... [ view full abstract ]
