Feco Nanoalloys Embedded In Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanosheets/Bamboo-Like Carbon Nanotubes For The Oxygen Reduction Reaction
INORGANIC CHEMISTRY FRONTIERS(2021)
Abstract
Herein, FeCo bimetallic organic frameworks (MOFs) with different compositions were fabricated by controlling the initial molar ratio of Fe3+/Co2+ ions. Through a one-step carbonization treatment of FeCo MOFs and the melamine mixture, a series of FeCo nanoalloys encapsulated in bamboo-like N-doped carbon nanotubes (CNTs), entangled with N-doped carbon nanosheet nanocomposites (FexCoy-N-C), were prepared. The FexCoy-N-C materials presented an excellent ORR performance in alkaline medium. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies revealed the existence of ORR-active centers, such as Co-N-x, pyridinic-N and graphitic-N, which were responsible for the enhanced ORR activity. Besides, the synergistic coupling between FeCo alloy and N-doped carbon nanotubes favors the enhancement of the electrocatalytic performance. Among FexCoy-N-C electrocatalysts, the optimized Fe1Co3-N-C and Fe3Co1-N-C catalysts showed higher ORR performance. In addition, both Fe1Co3-N-C and Fe3Co1-N-C showed superior stability compared to the benchmark commercial Pt/C catalyst.
