We demonstrate a new approach for the unzipping of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) in an aqueous solution using the transition metal complex PdCl42– as a sacrificial chemical scissor and the growth of graphitic-carbon-coated Pd nanoparticles for the electrocatalytic oxidation of formic acid. The chemical unzipping and the growth of Pd nanoparticles involve the spontaneous electron transfer between SWCNT and the metal complex in an aqueous solution at room temperature. The redox potential for SWCNT and PdCl42– favors the spontaneous electron transfer reaction. The metal complex, in situ generated Pd nanoparticle, and oxygen play vital role in the oxidative unzipping of SWCNT. The Pd nanoparticles have an average size of 11 nm and are coated with the graphitic carbon layer of unzipped SWCNT (UzCNT-Pd). The Pd nanoparticle of the UzCNT-Pd hybrid material has a large electrochemically active surface area of 2.14 cm2. The hybrid material exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of formic acid. The area and mass specific activity are significantly higher than those of the traditional carbon-supported Pd nanoparticle. The synergistic effect of graphitic carbon and the metal nanoparticles controls the catalytic activity. The confinement of Pd particles inside the graphitic carbon enhances the overall performance of the catalyst.<\/p>")"> Abstract

The design and development of a new economically viable electrocatalyst for the cathodic reduction of oxygen in fuel cells and metal–air batteries is of significant interest. The high cost, scarcity and lack of durability of traditional Pt-based electrocatalysts limit the widespread implementation of fuel cells for practical applications. The emergence of non-Pt and metal-free electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is promising in the development of energy conversion devices. In this review, we discuss the emerging new electrocatalysts, non-precious transition metals, metal nitrides and carbides and the nanoscale carbon-based metal-free electrocatalysts, for the ORR. Although the actual ORR mechanism and the active site of these catalysts are not well understood, their catalytic activity is undoubtful. The porosity and chemical and electronic environments of the catalysts control their activity. The activity of these catalysts is discussed in terms of onset potential, durability and their tolerance towards anode fuels. The metal-free heteroatom-doped carbon-based electrocatalysts are highly active in alkaline medium, paving the way for the development of alkaline fuel cells, though their long time durability in an actual fuel cell stack is not well explored. The challenges in the use of these catalysts and the lack of fundamental understanding of the catalytic activity are addressed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>")"> Abstract
