Covalent immobilization of a copper complex on CNTs or rGO remarkably improves the catalyst ORR activity and stability compared with that of the physisorbed counterparts, and proximal dinuclear Cu sites on flat rGO effectively promote the oxygen 4e− reduction process.

By using the pyramidalization angle as a localized geometric descriptor for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), we show the ORR activity of these systems can be readily predicted with mere structural optimization of CNTs.

A facile method to synthesize highly reduced graphene oxide in solid phase was developed. The reduced graphene oxide was scarcely prepared in solid phase. Solid substances act as spacers and pillaring agents. Sheets can not be close to each other in reduction process, and sheets agglomeration might not form. After reduction reaction is complete, the spacers and pillaring agents are removed. The average interlayer spacing and surface area of product are bigger than those of reduced graphene oxide. The product has few-layered sheet, and the ratio of carbon to oxygen is high, which might imply that the product is more similar to graphene compared to reduced graphene oxide. The specific capacitance of product is almost three times higher than that of reduced graphene oxide at the same current density.
