Abstract

RHE. The characterisation results of the prepared materials indicated that pyridinic and graphitic nitrogen in the carbon framework promoted ORR activity with improved four-electron selectivity and excellent methanol tolerance and stability. DFT calculations demonstrated that the structural and planar defects in the N-doped carbon regulated the surface electronic properties of the electrocatalyst, leading to a reduction in the energy barrier for the ORR activity. This strategy has the potential to unlock a platform for designing a series of catalysts for electrochemical applications.
