Paper‐Based N‐Doped Carbon Films for Enhanced Oxygen Evolution Electrocatalysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cellulous-fiber papers are used as 3D structural templates for the assembly of graphene and graphitic carbon nitrate (g-C3N4) ultrathin nanosheets. The resultant materials, which possess highly active centers, rich porosity, and 3D conductive networks, can catalyze the oxygen evolution reaction with competitive activity and much better durability compared to the benchmark noble metal electrocatalysts (IrO2).

Hydrophilic non-precious metal nitrogen-doped carbon electrocatalysts for enhanced efficiency in oxygen reduction reaction.
Exploring the role of surface hydrophilicity of non-precious metal N-doped carbon electrocatalysts in electrocatalysis is challenging. Herein we discover an ultra-hydrophilic non-precious carbon electrocatalyst, showing enhanced catalysis efficiency on both gravimetric and areal basis for oxygen reduction reaction due to a high dispersion of active centres.
متن کاملFree-standing nitrogen-doped carbon nanofiber films as highly efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction.
Free-standing nitrogen-doped carbon nanofiber (NCNF) films based on polyacrylonitrile (PAN) were prepared simply by the combination of electrospinning and thermal treatment. We reused the nitrogen-rich gas generated as the byproduct of PAN at elevated temperature, mainly NH3, for surface etching and nitrogen doping. The as-obtained NCNFs exhibited a rougher surface and smaller diameter than pri...

Developing highly active and stable catalysts based on earth-abundant elements for oxygen electrocatalysis is critical to enable efficient energy storage and conversion. In this work, we took advantage of the high intrinsic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity of La(0.8)Sr(0.2)MnO(3-δ) (LSMO) and the high intrinsic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity of Ba(0.5)Sr(0.5)Co(0.8)Fe(0.2)O(3-...
متن کاملSelf-templated synthesis of novel carbon nanoarchitectures for efficient electrocatalysis
The cost-efficient large-scale production of novel carbon nanostructure with high performance is still a challenge, restricting their applications in catalysis. Herein, we present a low-cost one-pot and one-step approach for the synthesis of both N-doped graphene (NG) and N-doped carbon nanotubes (NCNTs) from self-templated organic nanoplates. By varying the FeCl3 concentration in the precursor...
متن کاملPolypyrrole-assisted oxygen electrocatalysis on perovskite oxides
Nitrogen-containing electrocatalysts, such as metal–nitrogen–carbon (M–N–C) composites and nitrogen-doped carbons, are known to exhibit high activities for an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Moreover, even if the mechanism by which nitrogen improves the activities is not completely understood, a strong electronic interaction between nitrogen and active sites has been found in these composites....
