主 题:single sites of FeN_(4) oxygen reduction reaction structure-performance correlation electrocatalysis
摘 要:Over recent years,catalytic materials of Fe-N-C species have been recognized being active for oxygen reduction reaction(ORR).However,the identification of active site remains challenging as it generally involves a pyrolysis process and mixed components being *** Fe_(3)C/C and Fe_(2)N/C samples were synthesized by temperature programmed reduction of Fe precursors in 15%CH_(4)/H_(2)and pure NH_(3),*** acid leaching of Fe_(2)N/C sample,only single sites of FeN_(4)species were presented,providing an ideal model for identification of catalytic functions of the single sites of FeN_(4)in ORR.A correlation was conducted between the concentration of Fe^(Ⅱ)N_(4)in low spin state by Mossbauer spectra and the kinetic current density at 0.8 V in alkaline media,and such a structure-performance correlation assures the catalytic roles of low spin Fe^(Ⅱ)N_(4) species as highly active sites for the ORR.
