Abstract |
Hybrid systems in which molecule-cobalt based active species are combined with nanoscale materials may offer valuable routes to enhance catalytic performances for electrocatalytic reactions. The development of rationally designed, cost-effective, efficient catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a crucial challenge for applications in fuel cells and metal–air batteries for energy storage. A new hybrid ORR catalyst has been synthesized through a well-defined reaction between Co-based organometallic molecules and N-doped multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) at room temperature. The hybrid ORR catalyst shows excellent catalytic performance with an onset potential of 0.95 V [vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE)], superior durability, and good methanol tolerance in alkaline electrolytes. Chemical and structural characterization after many reaction cycles reveals that the Co-based organometallic species maintained the original structure of cobalt(II) acetylacetonate with coordination to the heteroatoms of the MWCNTs. A thorough electrochemical investigation indicates that the major catalytically active site is Co-O4-NCNT. |
