Abstract

Abstract:

Pure graphitic nitrogen (G-N) was doped on carbon black by Hummers method and a following heat treatment was used to transform the G-N to pyridinic (P)-N. An oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) study showed that the G-N site doped on carbon gave a two-electron ORR with H₂O₂ as the main product, while the P-N site gave the four-electron process of ORR and decreased the production of H₂O₂. The results help the understanding and design of doped N-based ORR electrocatalysts.

Key words: Carbon black, Heat-treatment, Oxygen reduction reaction, Nitrogen doping, Carbon-based catalysts
