Abstract

Abstract : Dicobalt phosphide nanoparticles encased in boron and nitrogen co-doped graphitic layers catalysts exhibited comparable ORR performance than the commercial Pt/C in alkaline solution with long term stability and excellent methanol tolerance. Abstract : Dicobalt phosphide nanoparticles encased in boron and nitrogen co-doped graphitic layers (BNC/Co2 P) were fabricated using a one-step pyrolysis method, which exhibited outstanding electrocatalytic ORR performance comparable to commercial Pt/C towards the oxygen reduction reaction via a four-electron pathway in alkaline solution with long-term stability and excellent methanol tolerance.
