In search for replacement of expensive, rare platinum (Pt) based electrocatalyst towards oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), transition metal-cored phthalocyanine (MPc) have been under current research focus. Among various MPc, iron phthalocyanine (FePc) gives best ORR performance, presumably because of its strong electron withdrawing capability. Herein, we report one pot solvothermal synthesis of 1 Dimensional FePc nanostructure and its possible application as ORR catalyst. The ORR performance of FePc nanostructure was carried out in 0.1 M KOH (pH = 13) via cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry. The performance, which was comparable with commercially available Pt/C, measures a half wave potential (E 1/2 = 0.64 V vs RHE), onset potential (E onset = 0.87 V vs RHE) and electron transfer number ( n ) of 3.9 at 0.35 V (vs RHE), indicating that the synthesized nanostructure essentially promote 4-electron reduction pathway. Additionally, unlike Pt/C, th...

溶剂热合成高酞菁铁酞菁纳米结构：联合实验研究和DFT分析

为了寻找替代昂贵，稀有的铂（Pt）基电催化剂以进行氧还原反应（ORR）的方法，过渡金属芯酞菁（MPc）已成为当前的研究重点。在各种MPc中，酞菁铁（FePc）具有最佳的ORR性能，大概是因为其强大的电子吸收能力。在这里，我们报告一锅溶剂热合成一维FePc纳米结构及其可能作为ORR催化剂的应用。FePc纳米结构的ORR性能通过循环伏安法和线性扫描伏安法在0.1 M KOH（pH = 13）中进行。该性能与市售Pt / C相当，可测量半波电位（E 1/2 = 0.64 V vs RHE），起始电位（E start = 0.87 V vs RHE）和电子传递数（n）为3.9在0.35 V（vs RHE）下，表明合成的纳米结构实质上促进了4-电子还原途径。此外，与Pt / C不同，...
