Metallic cobalt nanoparticles are successfully obtained by the pyrolytic decomposition of CoC2O4. 2H2O in the argon gas. The pyrolysates of CoC2O4. 2H2O were investigated by TG-DSC and SEM. The results showed that there are two stages in the process of the pyrolytic decomposition of CoC2O4. 2H2O in the argon gas. The crystal water in CoC2O4. 2H2O was lost from 150 °C to 275 °C. CoC2O4was pyrolysized into metallic cobalt powder from 300 °C to 500 °C. At the same time, the pattern of pyolysate of CoC2O4. 2H2O was fined at 347.7 °C for 10 min. But, the particles of pyolysate of CoC2O4. 2H2O were sintered into cobalt blocks at 500.0 °C for 10 min. Therefore, the conditions of pyrolytic decomposition of CoC2O4. 2H2O were controlled if single cobalt powder was obtained at 500.0 °C..

AbstractOxygen reduction reaction towards hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) provides a green alternative route for H2O2 production, but it lacks efficient catalysts to achieve high selectivity and activity simultaneously under industrial-relevant production rates. Here we report a boron-doped carbon (B-C) catalyst which can overcome this activity-selectivity dilemma. Compared to the state-of-the-art oxidized carbon catalyst, B-C catalyst presents enhanced activity (saving more than 210 mV overpotential) under industrial-relevant currents (up to 300 mA cm−2) while maintaining high H2O2 selectivity (85–90%). Density-functional theory calculations reveal that the boron dopant site is responsible for high H2O2 activity and selectivity due to low thermodynamic and kinetic barriers. Employed in our porous solid electrolyte reactor, the B-C catalyst demonstrates a direct and continuous generation of pure H2O2 solutions with high selectivity (up to 95%) and high H2O2 partial currents (up to ~400 mA cm−2), illustrating the catalyst’s great potential for practical applications in the future.

Abstract Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is a crucial route for energy saving, emission reduction and the development of new energy vehicles because of its high power density, high energy density as well as the low operating temperature which corresponds to fast starting and power matching. However, the rare and expensive Pt resource greatly hinders the mass production of fuel cell, and the development of highly active and durable non-precious metal catalysts toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in the cathode is considered to be the ultimate solution. In this article, a highly active and durable Fe-N-C catalyst was facilely derived from metal organic framework materials (MOFs), and a favorable structure of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were formed, which accounts for a desired good durability. The as-optimized catalyst has a half-wave potential of 0.84V for the ORR, which is comparable to that of commercial Pt/C. More attractively, it has good stabilities both in rotating disk electrode and single cell tests, which provides a large practical application potential in the replacement of Pt catalyst as the ORR electrocatalyst in fuel cells.
