▎ 摘  要

Small and uniform bimetallic WMoS nanoparticles well distributed on surface of thin graphene nanosheets (WMoSx-Gr) was prepared and investigated as an effective electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline electrolyte. This material exhibited highly catalytic activity relative to a commercial Pt/C product. In this context, the material showed a large limit current density, positive onset potential (0.05 V) as well as half wave potential (0.13 V). In particularly, the superior durability and methanol tolerance of the as-synthesized material were also pronounced, as compared to Pt/C. The high ORR activity of the WMoSx-Gr material was assumed to the synergistic effect produced from a unique nanostructure of the WMoSx and the high surface area graphene with its excellent conductivity. The obtained results imply that such hybrid material can open a new type of highly efficient non-Pt catalyst for ORR in alkaline environment.
