| 英文摘要 | M-Nx/C (M = Fe, Co) type electro-catalyst as a promising alternative to Pt-based electro-catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in fuel cells has been studied for years. However, the mechanism of this four-electron process involving several successive steps and the dynamic intermediate (hydrogen peroxide) participation still remains obscure. In this study, a series of Co-Nx/C with varied densities of Co-Nxsites have been obtained for probing the ORR activity and pathway in acid media via adopting zinc ions as a size-comparable template to disperse and regulate Co-Nxsites. Importantly, it has been found that the half-wave potential can be positively correlated with the weight percentage of ionic cobalt species, which suggests the decisive role of the density of Co-Nxsites on ORR activity. More importantly, our results suggest that both Co-Nx/C and 20 wt% Pt/C catalyze ORR via two successive steps: ORR begins at the onset potential accompanying the generation of H2O2intermediate, which is more easily to be adsorbed on platinum than on Co-Nx/C surface as detected by ring electrode; Subsequently at the half-wave potential and more negative, H2O2is further reduced immediately and efficiently on platinum, but unfortunately at much lower rate on Co-Nx/C. Thus in addition to improving the initial ORR activity by maximizing the M-Nxcoordination, it will be of great significance to endow the non-platinum catalysts with surface active sites capable of adsorbing and efficiently reducing the H2O2intermediate for the complete oxygen reduction to water. © 2017 Elsevier Inc. |
