The study of the pyrolysis products of Ni (II) and Pd (II) chelate complexes as catalysts for the oxygen electroreduction reaction

Nitrogen-doped carbon materials were prepared by the pyrolysis of carbon black Vulcan XC-72 impregnated with nitrogen-containing Pd (II) and Ni (II) complexes. The composition of materials was studied at different stages of their synthesis. It is shown that nanoparticles of metals and/or their oxide...

Description
Summary:Nitrogen-doped carbon materials were prepared by the pyrolysis of carbon black Vulcan XC-72 impregnated with nitrogen-containing Pd (II) and Ni (II) complexes. The composition of materials was studied at different stages of their synthesis. It is shown that nanoparticles of metals and/or their oxides are not the main electroactive component of materials in the oxygen electroreduction reaction (ORR). It is established that the palladium complex provides a much more efficient doping of carbon with nitrogen compared to the nickel complex of a similar composition. This results in the high ORR electrocatalytic activity of the catalyst obtained, palladium complex being used in an alkaline medium. This material is a promising one to be used as an electrocatalyst in fuel cells with an anion-conducting membrane. Graphical abstract
