▎ 摘  要

N-doped graphene has been extensively explored because of their intriguing properties. However, most of the conventional heat-processed N-doped graphene (HNG) suffer from the poor hydrophilic property and low electric conductivity when using electrode materials. Herein, we present a facile solution-processed strategy to fabricate N-doped graphene through electrochemical exfoliation of graphite in inorganic electrolyte solution. The resulting electrochemically exfoliated N-doped graphene (ENG) has high level of nitrogen (7.9 at.%) and oxygen (16.5 at.%), moreover, excellent electric conductivity (19 s cm(-1)). As a binder-free electrode material for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), ENG exhibits much better electroactivity than HNG and electrochemically exfoliated graphene (EG), moreover, much better methanol tolerance and long-term durability than that commercial Pt/C catalyst. The results provide new sights into scalable production of noble metal-free catalyst towards ORR.
