Fuel cells are a promising candidate for next-generation energy conversion devices, but the development of advanced non-precious oxygen reduction catalysts with high activity and stability is challenging. In this study, a novel hybrid architecture was constructed, which exhibited excellent oxygen reduction reaction performance.
Fuel cells have emerged as a charming candidate for next-generation energy conversion devices. However, it is highly desired but challenging to engineer advanced non-precious oxygen reduction catalysts with highly actives and stability due to the sluggish kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on fuel cell cathode. Herein, a novel hybrid architecture with Co nanoparticles embedded in N-doped carbon nanotubes and hollow nanocarbon polyhedron (Co@N-CNT-HC) was constructed from core-shell ZIF-67@ZIF-8 via a facile epitaxial growth-pyrolysis process. With the Co@N-CNT-HC as the catalyst, a remarkable ORR performance is achieved in terms of a high half-wave potential of 0.84 V, a large limiting current density of 4.70 mA/cm(2), and excellent long-term durability ( 97.8% current retention after 8 h) in alkaline medium, which outperform commercial Pt/C catalyst. Further dynamic calculations indicated that ORR follows a four-electron reaction mechanism. The enhancement activity of Co@N-CNT-HC is mainly due to the effective integration of 0D Co nanoparticles, 1D carbon nanotubes and 3D hollow nanocarbon, which synergistically strengthen the interfacial reaction kinetics of oxygen and accelerate mass/charge transfer. The strategy reported in this work provides a new insight to synthesis of low-cost and well-designed carbon hybrid electrocatalyst for ORR. (C)& nbsp;2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
