Abstract
A novel Fe3O4 nanoparticles/nitrogen-doped graphene aerogel (denoted as Fe3O4@NGA) hybrid material with high porosity was prepared by using iron-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), [Fe3O(H2N-BDC)3] (H2N-BDC=2-aminoterephtalic acid), denoted as MIL-88B-NH2, as templates and nitrogen-doped graphene aerogel (NGA) as the substrate. The obtained Fe3O4 nanoparticles demonstrate a rich edge area with abundant exposed active sites and defects, indicating great potential for oxygen adsorption and activation. When used as an electrocatalyst in alkaline solution, the Pt-free Fe3O4@NGA exhibited excellent oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance and dramatically enhanced durability and tolerance towards methanol compared to commercial Pt/C catalyst, revealing its great viability and potential in practical application.
期刊介绍:
ChemElectroChem is aimed to become a top-ranking electrochemistry journal for primary research papers and critical secondary information from authors across the world. The journal covers the entire scope of pure and applied electrochemistry, the latter encompassing (among others) energy applications, electrochemistry at interfaces (including surfaces), photoelectrochemistry and bioelectrochemistry.
