Electrocatalytic Oxygen Reduction Reaction on 48-Tungsto-8-Phosphate Wheel Anchored on Carbon Nanomaterials
Regardless of great efforts, the development of novel low cost electrocatalysts with high electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) remains a real challenge. This is a setback for the mass commercialization of one of the eco-friendliest alternative power sources: fuel cells (FCs). Thus, this work describes the preparation of four composites based on the 48-tungsto-8-phosphate polyanion salt K28Li5[H7P8W48O184]·92H2O (KLi-P8W48) immobilized on four distinct carbon materials, namely graphene flakes (GF), single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), and N-doped multi-walled carbon nanotubes (N-MWCNT), and their application as ORR electrocatalysts. In alkaline medium, all composites exhibited electrocatalytic activity with onset potentials between 0.71 and 0.94 V vs. RHE, while P8W48@N-MWCNT presented superior current density (−3.3 mA cm−2). A mixed electron process of 2- and 4-electrons is observed for all the composites, supporting the results of % H2O2 production. Additionally, low Tafel slopes were obtained (43–82 mV dec–1) for all composites. The electrocatalysts also showed excellent tolerance to methanol, with current retentions of 91–93%, and good electrochemical stability with current retentions between 67 and 82% after 36,000 s.
期刊介绍:
Electrocatalysis is cross-disciplinary in nature, and attracts the interest of chemists, physicists, biochemists, surface and materials scientists, and engineers. Electrocatalysis provides the unique international forum solely dedicated to the exchange of novel ideas in electrocatalysis for academic, government, and industrial researchers. Quick publication of new results, concepts, and inventions made involving Electrocatalysis stimulates scientific discoveries and breakthroughs, promotes the scientific and engineering concepts that are critical to the development of novel electrochemical technologies.
Electrocatalysis publishes original submissions in the form of letters, research papers, review articles, book reviews, and educational papers. Letters are preliminary reports that communicate new and important findings. Regular research papers are complete reports of new results, and their analysis and discussion. Review articles critically and constructively examine development in areas of electrocatalysis that are of broad interest and importance. Educational papers discuss important concepts whose understanding is vital to advances in theoretical and experimental aspects of electrochemical reactions.
