| Title: Are the lattice distortion and H passivation of pure carbon materials ignored for 2e ORR electrocatalysis? | |
| Abstract: The exploration of inexpensive and efficient catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is crucial for chemical and energy industries. Carbon materials have been proved promising with different catalysts enabling 2 and 4e- ORR. Nevertheless, their ORR activity and selectivity is still complex and under debate in many cases. Many structures of these active carbon materials are also chemically unstable for practical implementations. Unlike the well-discussed structures, this work shows how the lattice distortion and suitable H-passivation become as crucial factors in regulating efficient and stable 2e- ORR. This work gives a new understanding on the ORR activation to help proper design and fabrication of the ORR catalyst. | |
