主 题:bead-like structure carbon nanocages electrospinning technology oxygen reduction reaction zinc−air battery
摘 要:Proper regulation of metal-nitrogen carbon(M-N-C)materials derived from zeolitic imidazolate frameworks(ZIFs)is essential to enhance the oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)***,most of the reports focus on the component regulation,and the structure regulation of ZIFs-derived M-N-C materials by a simple preparation method has been barely ***,using a one-step electrospinning method with subsequent pyrolysis,we have prepared a bead-like cobalt-nitrogen co-doped carbon nanocage/carbon nanofiber(Co-N-C/CNF)composite electrocatalyst with the porous carbon nanocages arranged one by one in the highly conductive carbon *** from the fully exposed active sites and improved conductivity,the Co-NC/CNF catalyst exhibits an excellent ORR performance even surpassing the commercial Pt/C *** functional theory(DFT)results demonstrate that the CoNP-N1-C2 active sites on Co-N-C/CNF make the core contribution to the improvement of ORR ***,the zinc-air battery(ZAB)based on the Co-N-C/CNF catalyst also shows outstanding discharge *** study provides a new strategy for the preparation and structural design for ZIFs-derived M-N-C materials as efficient ORR catalysts.
