摘要
Engineering of defect and interface are two effective strategies to regulate the electronic structure and electrocatalytic activities. However, integrated the synergistic effect of carbon/oxygen defects and interfacial effects into spinel derivatives to dramatically improve the electrocatalytic property has not been studied up till now. Herein, a CoFe@Fe3N hybrid embedded into N-doped carbon nanotube has been prepared by heat-treatment of CoFe2O4 using a simple chemical vapor deposition method. Impressively, the as-prepared CoFe@Fe3N-CNT catalyst manifests a prominent stability and catalytic performance towards the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), as demonstrated by an ultrahigh half-wave potential (E1/2) of 0.936 V, which is the best ORR spinel-based catalysts. Furthermore, it was assembled into a rechargeable ZAB, which showed a high-power density of 173.6 mW cm-2 and an open circuit voltage of 1.534 V. The enhanced electrochemical performances are primarily due to the synergistic effect of carbon-oxygen double defects and interfacial electronic structure modulation.
