Data was collected using Autolab potentiostat/galvanostat PGSTAT30 (Metrohm Autolab, The Netherlands) controlled with NOVA version 2.1.4 software. The working electrode was glassy carbon electrode with diameter of 5 mm. Single cell AEMFC performance evaluation was conducted using Greenlight Fuel Cell Test Station (G40 Fuel cell system, Hydrogenics, Vancouver, Canada). Catalyst was pippeted on gas diffusion layers with the geometric area of 6.25 cm2 and active area of 5 cm2. For Figures 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, S2, S3, S4 electrochemical data the measured currents have been converted from current (A) to current densities (mA/cm2). For Figures 5, 6, 7, S3, the background currents, measured in Ar-saturated solution, have been subtracted, in addition to conversion to current densities .
