A novel non-precious-metal electrocatalyst for ORR is prepared by the pyrolysis of copolymer networks (CPN) in the presence of iron(ii) acetate. The as-prepared Fe–NTP/C-900 exhibits excellent ORR activity in both alkaline and acidic media.

AbstractAlthough Fe–N/C catalysts have received increasing attention in recent years for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), it is still challenging to precisely control the active sites during the preparation. Herein, we report FexN@RGO catalysts with the size of 2–6 nm derived from the pyrolysis of graphene oxide and 1,1′-diacetylferrocene as C and Fe precursors under the NH3/Ar atmosphere as N source. The 1,1′-diacetylferrocene transforms to Fe3O4 at 600°C and transforms to Fe3N and Fe2N at 700°C and 800°C, respectively. The as-prepared FexN@RGO catalysts exhibited superior electrocatalytic activities in acidic and alkaline media compared with the commercial 10% Pt/C, in terms of electrochemical surface area, onset potential, half-wave potential, number of electrons transferred, kinetic current density, and exchange current density. In addition, the stability of FGN-8 also outperformed commercial 10% Pt/C after 10000 cycles, which demonstrates the as-prepared FexN@RGO as durable and active ORR catalysts in acidic media.

Understanding the origin of manganese oxide activity for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a key step towards rationally designing of highly active catalysts capable of competing with the widely used, state-of-art noble metal catalysts.
