Development of high-performance polymer electrolyte fuel cells has historically focused on designing new catalysts and ionomers. Here, the authors present a bottom-up approach for designing catalyst support that achieves superior oxygen reduction activity and low local oxygen transport resistance in a membrane electrode assembly.
