▎ 摘  要

The preparation of a low-cost, high-efficient, and stable electrocatalyst as an alternative to platinum for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is especially important to various energy storage components, such as fuel cells and metal air batteries. Here, we report a new type of bonded double-doped graphene nanoribbon-based nonprecious metal catalysts in which Fe3C nanoparticles embedded in Fe-N-doped graphene nanoribbon (GNRs) frameworks through a simple pyrolysis. The as-obtained catalyst possesses several desirable merits for the ORR, such as diverse high-efficiency catalytic sites, a high specific surface area, an ideal hierarchical cellular structure, and a highly conductive N-doped GNR. network. Accordingly, the prepared catalyst shows a superior ORR. activity (an onset potential of 0.02 V and a half-wave potential of -0.148 V versus an Ag/AgCl electrode) in alkaline media, close to the commercial Pt/C catalyst. Moreover, it also displays good ORR behavior in an acidic solution.
