Title: | Recent progress in nitrogen-doped metal-free electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction | Authors: | Wu, ZX Song, M Wang, J Liu, X |
Issue Date: | May-2018 | Source: | Catalysts, May 2018, , v. 8, no. 5, 196, p. 1-17 | Abstract: | Electrocatalysis for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at the cathode plays a critical role in fuel cells and metal-air batteries. However, the high-cost and sluggish kinetics of the catalytic reaction have hindered its development. Therefore, developing efficient catalysts to address these issues is of vital significance. In this work, we summarized the recent progress of nitrogen (N)-doped metal-free catalysts for the ORR, owing to their high catalytic activity (comparable to Pt/C) and cost-effectiveness. The synthetic strategy and the morphology structure to catalytic performance are mainly discussed. Furthermore, the design of N-doped nanomaterials with other heteroatoms in aiming to further enhance the ORR performance is also reviewed. At the end of the review, we provide a brief summary of the N-doped carbon-based catalysts in enhancing the ORR performance and give future perspectives for their further development. | Keywords: | Nitrogen-doped carbon Metal-free Electrocatalysis Oxygen reduction reaction Perspectives |
