In this recent decade, great interest has risen to develop metal-free and cheap, biomass-derived electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Herein, we report a facile strategy to synthesize an electrochemically active nanocarbon material from the renewable and biological resource, wood biomass. The ORR activity of the catalyst material was investigated in 0.1 M KOH solution by employing the rotating disc electrode method. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy were employed to obtain more information about the catalyst material's morphology and composition. The material exhibits outstanding electrocatalytic activity with low onset potential and high current density, similar to that of a commercial Pt/C catalyst in an alkaline medium. The results clearly ascertain that wooden biomass can be easily transformed into novel carbon nanostructures with superior ORR activity and possibility to be used in fuel cells and metal-air batteries.
