ABSTRACT
Developing highly superior precious-metal-free electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are challenging and great significance. In this study, it is reported that an efficient ORR catalysts with N and S co-doped carbon nanotubes anchored to copper (Cu) nanoclusters by mechanical grinding and high temperature heat treatment. The obtained Cu-S1-N-C electrocatalysts exhibited a high ORR performance with an onset potential (Eonest) of 0.989 V and a half-wave potential (E1/2) of 0.905 V (vs. RHE) in alkaline electrolyte, which was superior to that of commercial Pt/C catalyst. In contrast to N doping alone, the defect structures and active species of the catalysts were optimized by precise modulation of S-atom doping, and moreover, the introduction of S-atoms provided more thiophene-sulfur active sites. This study provides an innovative idea for designing excellent ORR catalysts.
