Three-dimensional N,B-doped graphene aerogel as a synergistically enhanced metal-free catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction
Literature Information
Congcong Xu, Yan Su, Dajun Liu, Xingquan He
Here, a novel N,B-doped graphene aerogel, abbreviated as N,B-GA, was obtained via a two-step approach and served as a metal-free catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). This two-step method involved a hydrothermal reaction and a pyrolysis procedure, guaranteeing the efficient insertion of the heteroatoms. The resulting three-dimensional (3D) N,B-GA obtained at pyrolysis temperature of 1000 °C exhibited outstanding catalytic activity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), comparable to that of Pt/C. In addition, the catalytic activity of this 3D N,B-GA was obviously better than that of the nitrogen-doped graphene aerogel (N-GA) and boron-doped graphene aerogel (B-GA) in terms of the onset potential, half-wave potential and diffusion limiting current density. The superior catalytic reactivity arises from the synergistic coupling of the B and N dopants within the graphene domains.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
