Graphene-based hollow spheres as efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A facile and straightforward approach is developed for the construction of graphene-based hollow spheres. An electron rich sodium-ammonia solution is used to effectively restore the π-conjugation of graphene. The hollow spheres exhibit excellent electrocatalytic activity towards oxygen reduction without catalyst deactivation.

متن کاملHighly efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction based on 2D covalent organic polymers complexed with non-precious metals.
A class of 2D covalent organic polymers (COPs) incorporating a metal (such as Fe, Co, Mn) with precisely controlled locations of nitrogen heteroatoms and holes were synthesized from various N-containing metal-organic complexes (for example, metal-porphyrin complexes) by a nickel-catalyzed Yamamoto reaction. Subsequent carbonization of the metal-incorporated COPs led to the formation of COP-deri...
