Abstract
Synthesis, characterization and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalytic properties of bimetallic sulfides CoS/MnS/N-C catalyst was discussed. The catalyst was derived from a typical Co based zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67) and manganese aminoporphyrin. 5,15-Bis(4-aminophenyl)-10,20-bis(4-bromophenyl) porphyrin manganese oxoacetate loaded with ZIF-67 forms a porphyrin loaded ZIF-67. This product was then calcined at 800ˆ∘C and vulcanized with thioacetamide to obtain the bimetallic sulfide product CoS/MnS/N-C. The structure of CoS/MnS/N-C was further characterized by XRD, XPS, FESEM and HRTEM spectra which indicated a novel porous and hollow sphere structure. The electrocatalytic properties of the bimetallic material as well as its parent porphyrin and ZIF-67 were also compared in alkaline condition (0.1 M KOH) with a rotating disk electrode. The prepared catalyst CoS/MnS/N-C exhibits a higher catalytic performance than its precursors (PorMnOAc, ZIF-67 and PorMnOAc loaded ZIF-67) with almost four electron transfers under this condition.
