Bimetallic platinum group metal-free catalysts for high power generating microbial fuel cells
TL;DR: It was found that Co-based catalysts showed an improvement in performance by the addition of second metal compared to simple Co- AAPyr, and Fe-based bimetallic materials didn't show improvement compared to Fe-AAPyr with the exception of Fe-Mn-A APyr catalyst that had the highest performance recorded in this study.
