摘要
Due to the demand of an efficient, inexpensive and scalable synthesis of an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst for practical application in fuel cells, we demonstrate a facile strategy to fabricate the flexible Co3O4C/C3N4 catalyst. The results show that Co3O4 - C/C3N4 exhibits a remarkably enhanced ORR electrocatalytic activity due to the introduction of Co and carbon nanodots (CDots) into the graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) sheet. The electron-transferred number of Co3O4 - C/C3N4 toward ORR is calculated to be about 3.69, suggesting a desirable four-electron pathway. Furthermore, Co3O4 - C/C3N4 shows better durability and tolerance to methanol crossover effects than the commercial platinum (Pt)/C catalyst, indicating a promising potential as an ORR electrocatalyst in practical applications.
