نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract Graphite nitrogen, pyridine nitrogen and pyrrole are the main types in nitrogen-doped graphene materials. In order to investigate mechanism of oxygen reduction activity graphene, several models with different contents developed. The content is varied from 1.3 at% 7.8 at%, adsorption energy calculated according established models, then band gaps analyzed through optimization results, so as compare magnitude conductivity. Finally, graphite (GNG) found be better than (PDNG) (PLNG) when lower 2.6 PDNG best was higher at%.

Effect of microstructure of nitrogen-doped graphene on oxygen reduction activity in fuel cells.
The development of fuel cells as clean-energy technologies is largely limited by the prohibitive cost of the noble-metal catalysts needed for catalyzing the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in fuel cells. A fundamental understanding of catalyst design principle that links material structures to the catalytic activity can accelerate the search for highly active and abundant nonmetal catalysts to ...

Due to the demand of an efficient, inexpensive and scalable synthesis of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst for practical application in fuel cell, we demonstrate a facile strategy to fabricate the flexible nitrogen-doped graphene/carbon nanotube/Co3O4 (NG/CNT/Co3O4) paper catalyst. In the hydrothermal process, the in situ formation of Co3O4 nanoparticles, reduction of GO and doping of ni...
متن کاملNitrogen-doped colloidal graphene quantum dots and their size-dependent electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen reduction reaction.
Nitrogen doping has been a powerful way to modify the properties of carbon materials ranging from activated carbon to graphene. Here we report on a solution chemistry approach to nitrogen-doped colloidal graphene quantum dots with well-defined structures. N-doping was demonstrated to significantly affect the properties of the quantum dots, including the emergence of size-dependent electrocataly...
متن کاملElectrocatalytic oxygen reduction kinetics on Fe-center of nitrogen-doped graphene.
The Fe/N/C catalysts have emerged recently as a representative class of non-Pt catalysts for oxygen electrocatalytic reduction, which could have a competitive catalytic performance to Pt. However, the nature of the catalyst remains elusive, especially on the active site structure and the electrocatalytic kinetics. Here we examine two kinds of Fe/N active sites for Fe/N/C catalysts, namely, the ...
متن کاملFacile preparation of nitrogen-doped graphene as a metal-free catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction.
Nitrogen-doped graphene (nG) is a promising metal-free catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on the cathode of fuel cells. Here we report a facile preparation of nG via pyrolysis of graphene oxide with melamine. The morphology of the nG is revealed using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy while the successful N doping is confirmed by electron energy loss sp...
