Abstract
Investigating high-efficiency oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts is one of the most effective methods for addressing the sluggish kinetics at the fuel cell cathode. Bimetallic three-dimensional porous materials have garnered significant attention due to their diverse structures, large specific surface area and synergistic catalytic effects. Herein, we synthesized a bimetallic three-dimensional porous dodecahedral structure, Mn/Co-C-N, derived from MOF using a straightforward approach. Experimental reults confirm that the strategic incorporation of Mn enhances the electrocatalytic activity for ORR. Meanwhile, the synergistic effects of Mn and Co, as well as the advantages of the dodecahedral structure for expediting electron transfer, all contribute to the exceptional ORR performance. Arc testing in an alkaline electrolyte reveals that the initial potential (Eonset) and the half-wave potential (E1/2) are 0.89V and 0.80V, closely approximating those of commercial Pt/C (20wt%). Following 10,000 stability test cycles, the half-wave potential exhibits a mere 8 mV change, confirming its remarkable stability.
