Abstract

- The structural tailoring of pores is essential to high-performance Fe/N/C electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in proton exchange membrane fuel cells. Current strategies for pore structure engineering are usually accompanied with a drastic change of the intrinsic activity-related surface, which may mask the real effects of the porous structure on ORR activity. Herein, a mild carbon dioxide (CO2) etching method was used to flexibly tailor the pore structure of Fe/N/C electrocatalysts without drastic changes in their surface structure and property. In this way, via employing the Fe/N/C electrocatalysts as a model, the intrinsic impact of the pore structure on ORR activity was revealed. In addition, the CO2 etching method developed a high-quality electrocatalyst (sample Fe/N/C–5% CO2) with polarization performance exceeding that of the commercial Pt/C catalyst in the fuel cell working voltage region (>0.65 V). This work will promote the ongoing intensive studies on the rational design of the pore structures in the Fe/N/C electrocatalysts.
