Yang Gao et al.

Summary: The study introduces an inside-out doping method to prepare carbon submicrotubes for investigating the principles of designing dual-doping catalysts for ORR. By excluding interference factors and studying doping effects, it is found that N,P co-doping is more efficient than S- and B-doping in enhancing ORR catalytic activity.

High-throughput screening of carbon-supported single metal atom catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction

Yiran Wang et al.

Summary: By utilizing density functional theory (DFT), this study investigated the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalytic properties of 180 types of single-atom catalysts (SACs) and found that the adsorption free energy of OH* serves as a universal descriptor for predicting ORR catalytic activity accurately. The research revealed that phthalocyanine, N-coordination graphene, and metal-organic frameworks exhibit relatively lower overpotentials, making them promising supports for single metal atom. Additionally, Co-doped metal-organic frameworks, Ir-doped phthalocyanine, Co-doped N-coordination graphene, Co-doped graphdiyne, and Rh-doped phthalocyanine show extremely low overpotentials comparable to Pt (111). This study provides valuable guidance for the design and selection of carbon-supported SACs for the oxygen reduction reaction.
