Well-dispersed Pt/Nb2O5 on zeolitic imidazolate framework derived nitrogen-doped carbon for efficient oxygen reduction reaction
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract In this work, an advanced hybrid material was constructed by incorporating niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5) nanocrystals with nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) derived from ZIF-8 dodecahedrons, serving as a support, referred to as Nb2O5/NC. Pt nanocrystals were dispersed onto Nb2O5/NC using a simple impregnation reduction method. The obtained Pt/Nb2O5/NC electrocatalyst showed high oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity due to three-phase mutual contacting structure with well-dispersed Pt and Nb2O5 NPs. In addition, the conductive NC benefits electron transfer, while the induced Nb2O5 can regulate the electronic structure of Pt element and anchor Pt nanocrystals, thereby enhancing the ORR activity and stability. The half-wave potential (E 1/2) for Pt/Nb2O5/NC is 0.886 V, which is higher than that of Pt/NC (E 1/2 = 0.826 V). The stability examinations demonstrated that Pt/Nb2O5/NC exhibited higher electrocatalytic durability than Pt/NC. Our work provides a new direction for synthesis and structural design of precious metal/oxides hybrid electrocatalysts.
