Abstract
AbstractIron phthalocyanine‐based polymers (PFePc) are attractive noble‐metal‐free candidates for catalyzing oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, the low site‐exposure degree and poor electrical conductivity of bulk PFePc restricted their practical applications. Herein, laminar PFePc nanosheets covalently and longitudinally linked to graphene (3D‐G‐PFePc) was prepared. Such structural engineering qualifies 3D‐G‐PFePc with high site utilization and rapid mass transfer. Thence, 3D‐G‐PFePc demonstrates efficient ORR performance with a high specific activity of 69.31 μA cm−2, a high mass activity of 81.88 A g−1, and a high turnover frequency of 0.93 e s−1 site−1 at 0.90 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode in O2‐saturated 0.1 M KOH, outperforming the lamellar PFePc wrapped graphene counterpart. Systematic electrochemical analyses integrating variable‐frequency square wave voltammetry and in situ scanning electrochemical microscopy further underline the rapid kinetics of 3D‐G‐PFePc towards ORR.
