Transition-metal and nitrogen-codoped carbon-based (TM-N/C) catalysts are promising candidates for catalyzing the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, TM-N/C catalysts suffer from insufficient ORR activity, unclear active site structure, and poor durability, particularly in acidic solution. Herein, we report single Co atom and N codoped carbon nanofibers (Co–N/CNFs) catalyst with high durability and desirable ORR activity in both acidic and alkaline solutions. The half-wave potential of the ORR shows a negligible decrease after a 10 000-cycle accelerated durability test. The high ORR durability is originated from the structural stability of the atomically dispersed Co-based active site, as revealed by probing analysis and density functional theory calculations. A passive direct methanol fuel cell with the Co–N/CNFs cathode delivers a maximal power density of 16 mW cm–2 and a remarkable stability during a 200 h test, demonstrating the application potential of Co–N/CNFs. The breakthrough of the highly durable TM-N/C ORR catalyst could open an avenue for affordable and durable fuel cells.

单钴原子和N共掺杂碳纳米纤维作为高度耐用的氧还原反应电催化剂

过渡金属和氮掺杂的碳基(TM-N / C)催化剂是催化氧还原反应(ORR)的有前途的候选物。但是,TM-N / C催化剂的ORR活性不足,活性位点结构不清楚,并且耐久性差,特别是在酸性溶液中。在本文中,我们报告了在酸性和碱性溶液中具有高耐久性和理想的ORR活性的单Co原子和N共掺杂碳纳米纤维(Co-N / CNFs)催化剂。在10000次加速耐久性试验后,ORR的半波电势下降几乎可以忽略不计。如探测分析和密度泛函理论计算所揭示的,高ORR耐久性源自原子分散的Co基活性位点的结构稳定性。–2和在200小时的测试中具有出色的稳定性,证明了Co–N / CNF的应用潜力。高度耐用的TM-N / C ORR催化剂的突破可以为可负担得起的耐用燃料电池开辟一条道路。
