Sub‐50 nm Iron–Nitrogen‐Doped Hollow Carbon Sphere‐Encapsulated Iron Carbide Nanoparticles as Efficient Oxygen Reduction Catalysts
2018
Overview
Sub‐50 nm iron–nitrogen‐doped hollow carbon sphere‐encapsulated iron carbide nanoparticles (Fe3C‐Fe,N/C) are synthesized by using a triblock copolymer of poly(styrene‐b‐2‐vinylpyridine‐b‐ethylene oxide) as a soft template. Their typical features, including a large surface area (879.5 m2 g−1), small hollow size (≈16 nm), and nitrogen‐doped mesoporous carbon shell, and encapsulated Fe3C nanoparticles generate a highly active oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance. Fe3C‐Fe,N/C hollow spheres exhibit an ORR performance comparable to that of commercially available 20 wt% Pt/C in alkaline electrolyte, with a similar half‐wave potential, an electron transfer number close to 4, and lower H2O2 yield of less than 5%. It also shows noticeable ORR catalytic activity under acidic conditions, with a high half‐wave potential of 0.714 V, which is only 59 mV lower than that of 20 wt% Pt/C. Moreover, Fe3C‐Fe,N/C has remarkable long‐term durability and tolerance to methanol poisoning, exceeding Pt/C regardless of the electrolyte.
