Active Sites and Mechanism of Oxygen Reduction Reaction Electrocatalysis on Nitrogen‐Doped Carbon Materials

Singh, Santosh K., Takeyasu, Kotaro, Nakamura, Junji·2019·Advanced Materials

Abstract

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a core reaction for electrochemical energy technologies such as fuel cells and metal–air batteries. ORR catalysts have been limited to platinum, which meets the requirements of high activity and durability. Over the last few decades, a variety of materials have been tested as non‐Pt catalysts, from metal–organic complex molecules to metal‐free catalysts. In particular, nitrogen‐doped graphitic carbon materials, including N‐doped graphene and N‐doped carbon nanotubes, have been extensively studied. However, due to the lack of understanding of the reaction mechanism and conflicting knowledge of the catalytic active sites, carbon‐based catalysts are still under the development stage of achieving a performance similar to Pt‐based catalysts. In addition to the catalytic viewpoint, designing mass transport pathways is required for O 2. Recently, the importance of pyridinic N for the creation of active sites for ORR and the requirement of hydrophobicity near the active sites have been reported. Based on the increased knowledge in controlling ORR performances, bottom‐up preparation of N‐doped carbon catalysts, using N‐containing conjugative molecules as the assemblies of the catalysts, is promising. Here, the recent understanding of the active sites and the mechanism of ORRs on N‐doped carbon catalysts are reviewed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
