Noble metals, such as platinum, ruthenium and iridium‐group metals, are often used as oxygen reduction or evolution reaction (ORR/OER) electrocatalysts. To reduce the cost and provide an application of bifunctional catalysis, in this work, cobalt oxide supported on nitrogen and phospho‐rus co‐doped carbon (Co3O4/NPC) was fabricated and examined as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for OER and ORR. To prepare Co3O4/NPC, NPC was pyrolyzed from melamine and phytic acid support‐ed on carbon, followed by the solvothermal synthesis of Co3O4 on NPC. Linear sweep voltammetry was used to evaluate the activity for OER and ORR. For OER, Co3O4/NPC showed an onset potential of 0.54 V (versus the saturated calomel electrode) and a current density of 21.95 mA/cm2 at 0.80 V, which was better than both Co3O4/C and NPC. The high activity of Co3O4/NPC was attributed to a synergistic effect of the N, P co‐dopants and Co3O4. For ORR, Co3O4/NPC exhibited an activity close to commercial Pt/C in terms of the diffusion limited current density (–4.49 vs–4.76 mA/cm2 at–0.80 V), and Co3O4 played the key role for the catalysis. Chronoamperometry (current versus time) was used to evaluate the stability, which showed that Co3O4/NPC maintained 46%current after the chronoamperometry test for OER and 95% current for ORR. Overall, Co3O4/NPC exhibited high activity and improved stability for both OER and ORR.
用循环伏安法和SEM研究丙二醇对纳米气相二氧化硅胶体电解质性能的影响。添加丙二醇有利于提高电解质的充放电性能,但添加量应不高于0.05%。当丙二醇的添加量为0.05%时,可使气相二氧化硅的最佳分散时间缩短77.7%,胶体电解质具有更好的循环性能,以10 m V/s的速度在-1.3^-0.7 V循环100次后,峰电流为未添加时的2.77倍。SEM测试结果显示:添加丙二醇的胶体凝胶结构比未添加的更多孔、疏松。
