Cobalt/nitrogen doped hollow carbon sphere-bamboo like carbon nanotube for highly efficient oxygen reduction reaction
Source abstract
Abstract
The exploration of non-Pt catalysts with high electrocatalytic activity and durability is especially important for cathodic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in fuel cell. Here, cobalt and nitrogen doped hollow carbon sphere-bamboo like carbon nanotube (Co/NHCS-BCNT) is prepared by using SiO 2 sphere as sacrificial template. Co nanoparticles are confined in the cavity and top end of the in-situ formed BCNT, which can not only avoid the agglomeration of Co nanoparticles but also inhibit corrosion in caustic electrolyte. The synergistic effect between NHCS and well-dispersed Co particles makes Co/NHCS-BCNT have superior catalytic activity toward ORR. The electrochemical surface area (ECSA) of Co/NHCS-BCNT is 222 cm 2, which is higher than those of NHCS (164 cm 2) and HCS (135 cm 2). The onset potential and half-wave potential of Co/NHCS-BCNT are 0.941 V and 0.814 V, respectively, which are close to commercial Pt/C (0.949 V, 0.807 V). The Tafel slope of Co/NHCS-BCNT (63.8 mV dec -1) is lower than that of Pt/C (71.7 mV dec -1). In addition, Co/NHCS-BCNT shows excellent durability and fuel selectivity.
