摘要
Different Me-N-C catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are synthesized using Me(II)-phthalocyanines (Me = Fe, Co, Cu, Zn) as a unique precursor molecule, and SBA-15 silica as a sacrificial template. The influence of different transition metals on the pyrolysis process and the consequent physical chemical properties of the final catalysts were investigated using different characterization techniques such as N-2 physisorption, FESEM, EDX, XPS, XRD, and thermogravimetric analysis coupled with mass spectrometry (TGA-MS). The ORR activity and selectivity toward a complete 4-electrons reaction were assessed by RDE analysis in alkaline conditions. The ORR activity of the different Me-N-C catalysts decreases in the order Fe > Co > Cu > Zn approximate to H. Microporosity, pyridinic nitrogen content and temperature at which H-2 starts to be detected during the pyrolysis are directly related to the ORR activity of the different catalysts.
