Hydrothermal synthesis of vanadium nitride and modulation of its catalytic performance for oxygen reduction reaction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A creative hydrothermal synthesis method followed by calcination for vanadium nitride (VN) is reported. The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) study of the catalyst shows that VN possesses a comparable catalytic performance to commercial Pt/C catalyst. The ORR catalytic activity study of vanadium nitride, vanadium carbonitride, and vanadium carbide reveals that tuning anions offers a promising route for the activity enhancement of the non-precious metal catalysts.

The electrocatalysis of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on carbon supportedPt-V (1:1) catalyst in polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC) was investigated. Atan oxygen pressure of one atm an enhanced electrocatalytic property of Pt-V/Ccompared with Pt/C is revealed. These results indicate the occurrence of adifferent electrocatalytic mechanism for the ORR on Pt/C and Pt-V/C. Anincrease of mas...
