A core-shell type of Fe3O4/NCS-Mn composite was prepared by pyrolyzing a precursor fabricated by coating a chitosan-Schiff base Mn complex on Fe3O4 cores. For comparison purposes, the Fe3O4@NCS sample in the absence of Mn and the Fe3O4@NC sample derived from just chitosan coating Fe3O4 were also prepared. Among the three catalysts, Fe3O4@NCS-Mn demonstrates the best electrocatalytic activity compared to commercial Pt/C (20%) for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The average of the transferred electron number (n) approached 3.6 in the range of −0.3 to −0.8 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). Moreover, the catalyst exhibited high stability and durability against methanol and may potentially be a promising ORR catalyst for fuel cells.

Two nitrogen-rich porous organic polymers (POPs) were prepared via Schiff base chemistry. Carbonization of these POPs results in porous carbon nanohybrids which exhibit excellent catalytic activity toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR).
