Noble metal-free FeN-CNFs as an efficient electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction
چکیده انگلیسی
Carbonaceous materials containing non-precious metal atoms and doped with nitrogen have enthralled stunning attention in the field of electrochemical energy conversion systems. Herein, we demonstrated a facile method to fabricate iron and nitrogen doped carbon nanofiber (FeN-CNFs) catalyst material from ferric chloride and interfacial synthesized polyaniline (PANI) nanofibers, by carbonization process in an inert atmosphere at 800 °C. Further, synthesized material was characterized by elemental analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) that confirms the presence of FeN bonds. The structural and morphological features are studied using various microscopy and spectroscopy techniques. The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity of synthesized catalyst materials was examined by rotating disk electrode experiments in 0.1 M KOH. Among all these synthesized materials FeN-CNFs material showed enhanced ORR activity regarding current density and onset potential. Also, FeN-CNFs catalyst exhibited tolerance to methanol and durability in comparison to commercial Pt/C catalyst. The superior performance of FeN-CNFs may be attributed due to the introduction of Fe and formation of FeN bond in catalyst material.
