摘要
Preventing the stacking of graphene sheets is of vital importance for highly efficient and stable fuel cell electrocatalysts. In the present work, we report a 3-D structured carbon nanotube intercalated graphene nanoribbon with N/S co-doping. The nanocomposite is obtained by using high temperature heat-treated thiourea with partially unzipped multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The unique structure preserves both the properties of carbon nanotubes and graphene, exhibiting excellent catalytic performance for the ORR with similar onset and half-wave potentials to those of Pt/C electrocatalysts. Moreover, the stereo structured composite exhibits distinct advantages in long-term stability and methanol poisoning tolerance in comparison to Pt/C.
