Abstract
Co1âxMoxSe2 samples (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25) were synthesized using a solvothermal method. The expected compounds were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Their catalytic activities towards the oxygen reduction reaction were investigated. The molybdenum content had an influence on the performance of Co1âxMoxSe2, and Co0.85Mo0.15Se2 showed the best catalytic activity. At the same time, the testing results revealed that Co0.85Mo0.15Se2 featured a direct 4eâ reaction pathway. The onset potential (0.760 V), half-wave potential (0.601 V), and cathodic peak potential (0.540 V) in 0.5 M H2SO4 were more positive than for the other samples. In addition, Co0.85Mo0.15Se2 displayed much better methanol tolerance and operation stability than commercial Pt/C (20 wt% Pt).
