A micro-/nanostructured "superaerophilic" electrode constructed by direct growth of cobalt-incorporated and nitrogen-doped carbon-nanotube arrays with subsequent hydrophobic modification is demonstrated for a high-performance oxygen-reduction-reaction electrode, superior to the Pt/C-air electrode. This high performance is attributed to the simultaneously accelerated gas-diffusion and electron-transport processes induced by the unique structural advantages.
通过直接生长钴掺杂和氮掺杂碳纳米管阵列,并随后进行疏水性修饰,构建了一种具有微观/纳米结构的“超亲气性”电极,该电极作为高性能氧还原反应电极,优于 Pt/C-空气电极。这种高性能归因于独特结构优势同时加速气体扩散和电子传输过程。
