This new edition describes the state of the art regarding metal complexes of MN4-ligands, such as porphyrins and phthalocyanines. This volume focuses on the particular case of the electrocatalysis of the reduction of O2 for practical applications in fuel cells and air batteries. Indeed, active and stable materials have been developed in the last 5 years where MN4 catalytic systems can be obtained from starting materials that do not necessarily involve MN4 complexes. These latter systems constitute a new class of non-precious metal catalysts for ORR that can replace expensive Pt containing electrodes. The book also offers future projections and points out new fields of research and investigation.
