Sulfur doped reduced graphene oxide (S-rGO) is investigated for catalytic activity towards the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in acidic and alkaline electrolytes. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy shows that sulfur in S-rGO is predominantly integrated as thiophene motifs within graphene sheets. The overall sulfur content is determined to be approximately 2.2 at.% (elemental analysis). The catalytic activity of S-rGO towards the ORR is investigated by both rotating disc electrode (RDE) and polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) measurements. RDE measurements reveal onset potentials of 03 V and 0.74 V (vs. RHE) in acidic and alkaline electrolyte, respectively. In a solid electrolyte fuel cell with S-rGO as cathode material, this is reflected in an open circuit voltage of 0.37 v and 0.78 v and a maximum power density of 1.19 mW/cm(2) and 2.38 mW/cm(2) in acidic and alkaline polymer electrolyte, respectively. This is the first report investigating the catalytic activity of a sulfur doped carbon material in both acidic and alkaline liquid electrolyte, as well as in both proton and anion exchange polymer electrolyte fuel cells.
