On the Role of Metals in Nitrogen‐Doped Carbon Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Reduction

Masa, Justus, Xia, Wei, Muhler, Martin, Schuhmann, Wolfgang·2015·Angewandte Chemie International Edition

Abstract

The notion of metal‐free catalysts is used to refer to carbon materials modified with nonmetallic elements. However, some claimed metal‐free catalysts are prepared using metal‐containing precursors. It is highly contested that metal residues in nitrogen‐doped carbon (NC) catalysts play a crucial role in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). In an attempt to reconcile divergent views, a definition for truly metal‐free catalysts is proposed and the differences between NC and M‐N x/C catalysts are discussed. Metal impurities at levels usually undetectable by techniques such as XPS, XRD, and EDX significantly promote the ORR. Poisoning tests to mask the metal ions reveal the involvement of metal residues as active sites or as modifiers of the electronic structure of the active sites in NC. The unique merits of both M‐N x/C and NC catalysts are discussed to inspire the development of more advanced nonprecious‐metal catalysts for the ORR.

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.
