Efficient metal-free N-doped mesoporous carbon catalysts for ORR by a template-free approach
Open accessAbstract
A simple, cost-effective and scalable approach for the synthesis of N-doped mesoporous carbons that are effective as ORR catalysts is reported. The synthesis procedure involves two steps: a) production of mesoporous carbons using a template-free approach based on the carbonization of citrate salts of zinc and calcium, and b) N-doping by heat treatment in the presence of melamine. The resulting N-doped carbon possess a high specific surface area, a porosity made up exclusively of mesopores and a large amount of nitrogen functionalities (∼8–9 wt%). When used as an electrocatalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), the metal-free carbon materials predominantly catalyze the 4 e− process, with an onset potential of 0.9 V (vs. RHE) and a superior kinetic current density (∼17 mA cm−2) to that of Pt/C at ∼0.6 V under basic conditions. In addition, the developed catalysts show a higher stability than commercial Pt/C and excellent electrocatalytic selectivity against methanol crossover.

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.
