Abstract
- The rational design of efficient electrocatalysts for hydrogen peroxide electroreduction is essential to improve the performance of direct hydrogen peroxide fuel cells. In this study, we synthesized a Co 4 N/CoNC with a heterogeneous interface grown directly on nickel foam (NF) substrates as a highly active electrocatalyst for hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) electroreduction (HPRR). Benefiting from the integrated three-dimensional structure with sufficient active sites, the high electrical conductivity, and the synergistic effect of the heterogeneous interfaces of Co 4 N and Co–N–C, the electrode provides superior H 2 O 2 electrocatalytic properties, with a current density up to 0.65 A cm−2 at −0.8 V vs. Ag/AgCl, Tafel slope at 34.86 mV dec−1 and low activation energy as 9.65 kJ mol−1 in alkaline medium. Our findings provide insights into the design of efficient H 2 O 2 electrocatalyst design. [Display omitted] • Co 4 N/CoNC heterointerface catalysts synthesized by simple hydrothermal and co-precipitation methods. • The unique structure of Co 4 N/CoNC provides a large exposure of the heterogeneous interface to the reaction environment. • Co 4 N/CoNC exhibit excellent catalytic activity and stability in the electroreduction of hydrogen peroxide.
