Nonplatinum metal (NPM) catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have been developed; however, NPM catalysts still need to be improved in terms of both their catalytic activity and durability. To overcome these problems, an Fe active site contained within a more compact ligand than conventional, porphyrinic, 16-membered ring ligands, or more specifically, a hexaaza macrocyclic ligand with a 14-membered ring (14MR), was developed. In this study, the durability of the Fe-14MR complex was compared to that of Fe phthalocyanine (FePc), which has a 16-membered ring ligand, using in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy; demetalation of the Fe complexes was directly observed during electrochemical experiments performed under acidic ORR conditions. It was found that Fe-14MR is significantly more resistant to demetalation than FePc during the ORR.
