Poisoning the Oxygen Reduction Reaction on Carbon-Supported Fe and Cu Electrocatalysts: Evidence for Metal-Centered Activity
Abstract
Whether or not the active sites for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in electrocatalysts based on carbon-supported transition-metal complexes are metal-centered has become controversial, especially for heat-treated materials. Some have proposed that the transition metal only serves to form highly active sites based on nitrogen and carbon. Here, we examine the oxygen reduction activity of carbon-supported iron(II) phthalocyanine (FePc) before and after pyrolysis at 800 °C and a carbon-supported copper(II) complex with 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole (CuDAT) in the presence of several anions and small-molecule poisons, including fluoride, azide, thiocyanate, ethanethiol, and cyanide. CuDAT is poisoned in a manner consistent with a Cu-based active site. Although FePc and pyrolyzed FePc are remarkably resilient to most poisons, they are poisoned by cyanide, indicative of Fe-based active sites.

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.
