Enzyme-Inspired Iron Porphyrins for Improved Electrocatalytic Oxygen Reduction and Evolution Reactions

Lisi Xie et al.

Summary: An enzyme-inspired Fe porphyrin 1 has been found to be an efficient catalyst for both ORR and OER, outperforming its imidazole-free analogue 2. Experimental results suggest that 1 can prevent the formation of less effective trans HO-Fe-V=O, thereby improving the efficiency of O-O bond formation.

Rationally constructing CoO and CoSe2 hybrid with CNTs-graphene for impressively enhanced oxygen evolution and DFT calculations

Deyao Xu et al.

Summary: Constructing CoO-CoSe2 heterostructures through partial selenization of CoO and using reduced graphene oxide as a platform, a novel hybrid material (CoO-CoSe2@N-CNTs/rGO) with excellent electrocatalytic performance for oxygen evolution reaction was successfully fabricated. The exceptional performance is attributed to the synergistic effect between CoO and CoSe2, N doping effect in CNT and rGO, and the confining effect of N-CNTs and rGO for CoO-CoSe2, resulting in more active sites and enhanced conductivity.
