Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Non-precious Fe/N/C catalysts have attracted increased attention due to their activity in oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). To promote the activity of this type of catalysts, we applied the electrochemical treatment of the Fe/N/C sample synthesized by using the known technique. We demonstrated that two-stage anodic-cathodic treatment of the Fe/N/C sample under the certain condition leads to increase the electrocatalytic activity toward the ORR of the starting catalyst. The results may open the opportunities in finding new ways of increasing the activity of Fe/N/C catalysts by using the electrochemical treatment.
