2D Layered meso-M/N-C/N-G nanocomposites with high specific surface area, homogeneous distribution of ultra-small M-N-C nanoparticles less than 5 nm, and mesopores with a size of ∼3.6 nm exhibit excellent electrocatalytic activity toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in acidic and alkaline media.

Mn-doped spinel oxides MnxNi1−xCo2O4 (x = 0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, and 1) were synthesized using the citric acid-assisted sol–gel method. The Mn0.5Ni0.5Co2O4 (x = 0.5) supported on carbon nanosheets, Mn0.5Ni0.5Co2O4/C, was also prepared using the same method employing NaCl and glucose as a template and carbon source, respectively, followed by pyrolysis under an inert atmosphere. The electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity was performed in alkaline media. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was used to investigate the oxygen reduction performance of MnxNi1−xCo2O4 (x = 0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, and 1), and Mn0.5Ni0.5Co2O4 was found to be the best-performing electrocatalyst. Upon supporting the Mn0.5Ni0.5Co2O4 on a carbon sheet, the electrocatalytic activity was significantly enhanced owing to its large surface area and the improved charge transfer brought about by the carbon support. Rotating disk electrode studies show that the ORR electrocatalytic activity of Mn0.5Ni0.5Co2O4/C proceeds via a four-electron pathway. Mn0.5Ni0.5Co2O4/C was found to possess E1/2(V) = 0.856, a current density of 5.54 mA cm−2, and a current loss of approximately 0.11% after 405 voltammetric scan cycles. This study suggests that the interesting electrocatalytic performance of multimetallic transition metal oxides can be further enhanced by supporting them on conductive carbon materials, which improve charge transfer and provide a more active surface area.

In this study, we report the findings that the C–N composites containing Ni and Co (Ni1Co1/C–N, Ni3Co1/C–N, Ni6Co1/C–N, Ni9Co1/C–N, Ni[Formula: see text]Co0/C–N and Ni0Co[Formula: see text]/C–N) can be produced by direct pyrolysis of the NiCo-doped polyaniline (PANI) precursors in N2 atmosphere at 800[Formula: see text]C and show efficient electroactivity for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline media. Distribution and compositions of the catalysts were characterized by SEM, TEM, EDS and XRD techniques. The catalysts were loaded on carbon paper to prepare gas diffusion electrodes, in which electrocatalytic activity for ORR in alkaline media was investigated by voltammetric techniques. The ORR current density on these carbon paper-supported NiCo/C–N catalysts exhibits a linear increase with the negative shift of ORR potential. The ORR onset potential is around [Formula: see text]0.2[Formula: see text]V (versus Ag/AgCl) in alkaline media. Among the prepared catalysts, the catalyst Ni6Co1/C–N presents the largest ORR current density, which is 68.5[Formula: see text]mA[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text]@[Formula: see text]0.8[Formula: see text]V (versus Ag/AgCl) in alkaline media. Moreover, Ni6Co1/C–N catalyst also presents good electrocatalytic activity stability for ORR.
