Highly Active Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanotubes for Oxygen Reduction Reaction in Fuel Cell Applications
Abstract
One of the main challenges in the commercialization of low temperature fuel cells is the slow oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics and the high cost and scarcity of platinum (Pt)-based catalysts. As a result, alternative non-noble electrocatalysts to Pt materials for ORR is needed to realize the practical application of fuel cells. In this study, nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (NCNTs) were synthesized as a non-noble electrocatalyst for the ORR using ethylenediamine (EDA-NCNT) and pyridine (Py-NCNT) as different nitrogen precursors by a single-step chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. The resulting EDA-NCNT has shown similar ORR performance compared to platinum on carbon support in terms of onset and half-wave potentials. Moreover, EDA-NCNT showed superior ORR performance in terms of limiting current density, number of electrons transferred, and H 2 O selectivity. The effects of nitrogen content on ORR performance of NCNT were investigated by comparing EDA-NCNT with Py-NCNT. The ORR performance of Py-NCNT was inferior compared to EDA-NCNT in terms of onset and half-wave potentials, limiting current density, number of electrons transferred, and H 2 O selectivity. Further material characterizations by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy illustrated a higher nitrogen content and more defects in EDA-NCNT compared to that of Py-NCNT which indicates the important role of the nitrogen precursor on nitrogen content and structure of NCNT. By combining the results of ORR activity and material characterization, it is concluded that higher nitrogen content and more defects of NCNT lead to high ORR performance.

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.
