Abstract

Ecological aesthetics encourages the harmonization of humans and nature. In this paper, we integrate ecological aesthetics into the development of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts of H 2 /O 2 fuel cells. Moldy soybean and duckweed as raw materials are adopted to prepare biomass-based ORR catalysts, both of which have advantages in activity, stability, environmental protection and resource richness over the conventional expensive and scarce noble metal-based catalysts. Therefore, duckweed is more environmentally friendly, entails a simpler preparation process and has a better catalytic performance, ultimately being more in line with ecological aesthetics.
