چکیده
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 reaction was studied in a three-electrode half-cell system, via linear sweep voltammetry (lsv), cyclic voltammetry (cv), chronoamperometry (cha) and impedance analysis. the results show that, the existence of swcnt in the reaction layer improves the exchange current density of orr, the symmetry factor changed between 0.51 and 0.83, as a whole in the optimized condition (0.4% wt .swcnt) tendency of gas diffusion electrode for orr is increased. the addition, influences significantly in electrochemical surface area and the gas diffusion electrode with 0.4%wt swcnt has lowest charge transfer resistance respect to other electrodes. our results indicated that the best performance obtains for an electrode with 0.4% single walled carbon nanotube.

متن کاملGrowth mechanism of single-walled carbon nanotube from catalytic reaction inside carbon nanotube template.
We report a numerical investigation on the catalytic growth mechanism of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) inside a template SWNT, that is, formation of a double-walled carbon nanotube (DWNT). The molecular dynamics simulations together with complementary ab inito calculations suggest that the DWNT formation from thermally annealed metallocene-encapsulating SWNT goes through formation of m...
متن کاملSingle-Walled Carbon Nanotube Network Gas Sensor
Gas sensors are generally defined as devices to detect or measure concentration of (bio-) chemicals in gaseous state. The demands of highly sensitive gas sensors for industry, environmental monitoring, safety, biomedicine, and pharmaceutics have provoked the intensive research interests in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanotechnology. The nanotechnology in conjunction with MEMS has...
متن کاملSynergistically enhanced activity of graphene quantum dot/multi-walled carbon nanotube composites as metal-free catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction.
Graphene quantum dots (GQDs), as metal-free carbon nanomaterials, have potential applications in electrochemical fields due to their strong chemical inertness, oxygen-rich functional groups and remarkable quantum confinement and edge effects. Herein, we demonstrate that a novel metal-free electrode composed of GQDs and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) exhibits a significant synergistic ef...
