Iodinated Charcoal as Electrocatalyst for Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Article Preview

Abstract:

Large quantity of iodinated charcoal (I-AC) is firstly prepared by simple ball-milling activated chargoalin the presence of iodine. The resultant I-AC contains iodine of 0.59 at.% (EDS) and shows that the morphology is changed from random powder into flake-like platelet. It is uased as electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), exhibiting outstanding electrocatalytic activities with higher selectivity, better tolerance to methanol crossover than those of the starting AC and commercial Pt/C electrocatalysts.
