▎ 摘　　要

A simple, eco-friendly and efficient harmless chemical approach has been developed for the simultaneous nitrogen (N) doping and reduction of graphene oxide (GO) by cost free human urine using simple refluxing. Large-scale preparation of graphene has been hindered largely by several issues, such as highly toxic reducing agents that are harmful to human health and environment, complicated reduction process and costly chemicals. Human urine is a natural precursor of urea with no cost. In this process, the NH3 has acted as not only reducing but also doping agent that produced via thermal decomposition of urea, while the N doping level of similar to 11.1 at% is achieved. For the first time we have used urine as a reductant and doping agent in such a high class chemical technology. The simultaneous reduction and N-doping of GO using urine (denoted as UNG) have confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and UV-vis spectroscopy. The resultant UNG has demonstrated to show remarkable electrocatalytic activity toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) with better fuel selectivity, and stability than that of the commercially available 20 wt% Pt/C electrode using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry.
