Electrocatalytic Oxygen Reduction Reaction
Oxygen (O2) is the most abundant element in the Earth’s crust. The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is also the most important reaction in life processes such as biological respiration, and in energy converting systems such as fuel cells. ORR in aqueous solutions occurs mainly by two pathways: the direct 4-electron reduction pathway from O2 to H2O, and the 2-electron reduction pathway from O2 to...
متن کاملPolydopamine-Coated Manganese Complex/Graphene Nanocomposite for Enhanced Electrocatalytic Activity Towards Oxygen Reduction
Platinum electrodes are commonly used electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reactions (ORR) in fuel cells. However, this material is not economical due to its high cost and scarcity. We prepared an Mn(III) catalyst supported on graphene and further coated with polydopamine, resulting in superior ORR activity compared to the uncoated PDA structures. During ORR, a peak potential at 0.433 V was re...
متن کاملMultifunctional graphene-based nanostructures for efficient electrocatalytic reduction of oxygen
Graphene derivatives have been used extensively as a functional support for nanoparticle catalysts in diverse applications, in particular, oxygen reduction reactions (ORR) at fuel cell cathodes. This review summarizes recent progress in this area of research, where the catalytic performance is evaluated within the context of stabilization of metal nanoparticles against sintering/aggregation and...
متن کاملLaccase-modified gold nanorods for electrocatalytic reduction of oxygen.
cathodes. Nanostructuring was provided by gold nanorods (AuNRs), which were characterized and covalently attached to electrodes made of low-density graphite. The nanostructured electrode was the scaffold for covalent and oriented attachment of ThLc. The bioelectrocatalytic currents measured for oxygen reduction were as high as 0.5 mA/cm(2 and 0.7 mA/cm(2), which were recorded under direct and m...
متن کاملChemical etching of manganese oxides for electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction.
Mixed-valent MnO(x) (1 < x < 2) was selectively synthesized by chemically etching MnO and Mn2O3 with ceric ammonium nitrate. The obtained MnO(x) exhibited greatly enhanced electrocatalytic activity toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) as compared to the corresponding pristine oxides.
