▎ 摘  要

A novel high-performance non-noble metal electrocatalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was fabricated by anchoring cobalt tetraferrocenylporphyrin (CoFcP) onto poly(sodium-p-styrenesulfonate) modified graphene (PSS-Gr) through solvothermally assisted pi-pi assembling method. The morphology of the assembled composite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The interactions between CoFcP moieties and graphene sheets were confirmed by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The electrocatalytic properties of the CoFcP/PSS-Gr catalyst towards the oxygen reduction reaction were assessed using rotating disk electrode (RDE) and rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE) measurements in both alkaline and acidic media. In addition, cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometric measurements were utilized to evaluate the catalytic activity and stability of the CoFcP/PSS-Gr composite in alkaline solution. The results showed that CoFcP supported on graphene exhibited an outstanding electrocatalytic performance towards the ORR comparable with commercial Pt/C catalyst in alkaline media, such as high onset potential (0.889 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode, RHE), half wave potential (0.789 V vs. RHE), better tolerance to methanol, excellent stability (84.1 %, retention after 10000 s), and efficient four-electron pathway. Moreover, the proposed hybrid presented excellent catalytic activity in terms of onset potential (0.72 V vs. RHE) and high-electron transfer number compared with Pt/C in acidic media.
