▎ 摘　　要

Plasmonic Ag nanoparticles have strong spectral absorption in ultraviolet and visible light due to unique localized surface plasmon resonance effects. Meanwhile, nitrogen-doped graphene (NG) incorporates nitrogen (N) atoms into graphene lattice through a hydrothermal process, thereby providing active oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) sites. Herein, N-doped graphene decorated with plasmonic Ag nanoparticles (Ag/NG) is synthesized and utilized as ORR catalyst. The ORR performance of Ag/NG greatly exceeds that of pure NG. Its half-wave potential is 0.86 V, exceeding that of commercial Pt/C (0.83 V). Under the AM 1.5G simulated sunlight, Ag/NG demonstrates photo-enhanced electrocatalytic performance with right shifting of onset potential and half-wave potential. In this case, the half-wave potential increases by 10 mV, while the current density also rises significantly. Therefore, the Ag/NG composite provides a potential strategy for the development of solar-enhanced electrocatalysts for fuel cells and metal-air batteries.
