Edge-enriched N, S co-doped hierarchical porous carbon for oxygen reduction reaction

Fangfang Chang et al.

Summary: This study synthesized a series of edge-enriched N, S co-doped carbon materials by pyrolysis of thiourea encapsulated in zeolitic imidazolate frameworks. These materials exhibited excellent oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance in alkaline medium, with low onset potential, good stability, and methanol tolerance. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the carbon atoms adjacent to N and S are the probable active sites for ORR intermediates in the edge-enriched N, S co-doped carbon materials, due to their higher electron density, which enhances O2 adsorption and lowers the formation barriers of intermediates, thereby improving the ORR performance.
