Rational design of carbon-supported single and dual atom catalysts for bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysis
Source abstract
Abstract
Design and engineering of effective bifunctional electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) represents a critical first step in the further development of rechargeable metal-air batteries, a sustainable energy technology. Recently, nanocomposites based on metal species atomically dispersed within carbon scaffolds have emerged as viable alternatives to the conventional precious metal-based electrocatalysts. In this review, we summarize the latest progress by including a brief introduction to the fundamentals of ORR/OER electrochemistry and an overview of the synthetic strategies and bifunctional performances of carbon-based nanocomposite catalysts with single and dual metal sites. We conclude the review with a perspective about the challenges and opportunities for further innovation of carbon-supported nanocomposites for bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysis.
