ABSTRACT
Fuel cell (FC) test results have been obtained for the first time with the bis-ligand nickel(ii) complex of 1,4-diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclootane heterogeneous catalyst. Using AFM technique the [Ni(PPh2Np-Tol2)2](BF4)2 self-assemblies morphology on pyrolytic graphite has been studied. By the method of rotating disk electrode the mechanism of FC cathode side reaction has been investigated
