A Single‐Atom Iridium Heterogeneous Catalyst in Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Layered SiC Sheets: A Potential Catalyst for Oxygen Reduction Reaction

The large-scale practical application of fuel cells cannot come true if the high-priced Pt-based electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) cannot be replaced by other efficient, low-cost, and stable electrodes. Here, based on density functional theory (DFT), we exploited the potentials of layered SiC sheets as a novel catalyst for ORR. From our DFT results, it can be predicted that l...

Electrodeposition of platinum nanoparticles on reduced graphene oxide as an efficient catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction

Reduced graphene oxide film was synthesized on a glassy carbon electrode by electro reduction of graphene oxide powders in aqueous solution. Then platinum nano particles were deposited on reduced graphene oxide film that was deposited on the glassy carbon electrode via electro reduction of platinum salt. The Physical morphology of the platinum on reduced graphene oxide film was evaluated by sca...

Few-layered graphene-supported palladium as a highly efficient catalyst in oxygen reduction reaction.

New, active and stable catalysts competitive to Pt catalysts are necessary for fuel cell development. Here, we present few-layered graphene-supported Pd, revealing a performance superior to Pt/C and Pd/C ORR (positive half-wave potential shift E(1/2) by 50 mV, approximately one order of magnitude higher area- and mass-normalized current densities, I(area), I(mass), after 2500 cycles). The catal...

Single walled carbon nanotube in the reaction layer of gas diffusion electrode for oxygen reduction reaction

In this paper, the effect of surface area of reaction layers in gas diffusion electrodes on oxygen reduction reaction was investigated. For this purpose, various amounts (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and zero %wt of total loading of reaction layer) of single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) were inserted in the reaction layer. The performance of gas diffusion electrodes for oxygen reduction re...
