Application of a Nanostructured Composite Material Constructed by Self-Assembly of Titanoniobate Nanosheets and Cobalt Porphyrin to Electrocatalytic Reduction of Oxygen

A novel layered nanocomposite was fabricated by the self-assembly of TiNbOs-nanosheets and 5,10,15,20- tetrakis(N-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphyrinatocobalt(III) (CoTMPyP). The product was characterized by a variety of analytical techniques such as XRD, EDX, Zeta potential, AFM, UV-vis, IR and SEM, th...

Description
Summary:A novel layered nanocomposite was fabricated by the self-assembly of TiNbOs-nanosheets and 5,10,15,20- tetrakis(N-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphyrinatocobalt(III) (CoTMPyP). The product was characterized by a variety of analytical techniques such as XRD, EDX, Zeta potential, AFM, UV-vis, IR and SEM, the guest species were intercalated into the interlayer gallery of KTiNbO5 successfully. The electrochemical property of TiNbO5-CoTMPyP as an electrode modifying material was examined by cyclic voltammetry test in PBS solution (pH = 7), and the hybrid exhibited excellent electrocatalytical property towards oxygen reduction with the peak potential shifting from -0.703 V (bare GCE) to -0.278 V (modified electrode). The result also indicated that the oxygen molecule was reduced to H2O2 by a two-electron process.
