Oxygen species functionalized graphene (O-G) is an effective electrocatalyst for electrochemically synthesizing hydrogen peroxide (H O ) by a 2 e oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The type of oxygen species and degree of carbon crystallinity in O-G are two key factors for the high catalytic performance of the 2 e ORR. However, the general preparing method of O-G by the precursor of graphite has the disadvantages of consuming massive strong oxidant and washing water. Herein, the biomass-based graphene with tunable oxygen species is rapidly fabricated by a CO laser. In a flow cell setup, the laser-induced graphene (LIG) with abundant active oxygen species and graphene structure shows high catalytic performance including high Faraday efficiency (over 78 %) and high mass activity (814 mmolg h ), superior to most of the reported carbon-based electrocatalysts. Density function theory demonstrates the meta-C atoms at nearby C-O, O-C=O species are the key catalytic sites. Therefore, we develop one facile method to rapidly convert biomass to graphene electrocatalyst used for H O synthesis.
氧物种功能化石墨烯(O-G)是一种通过2e氧还原反应(ORR)电化学合成过氧化氢(H₂O₂)的有效电催化剂。O-G中氧物种的类型和碳结晶度是2e ORR具有高催化性能的两个关键因素。然而,通过石墨前驱体制备O-G的常规方法存在消耗大量强氧化剂和洗涤水的缺点。在此,利用CO₂激光快速制备了具有可调氧物种的生物质基石墨烯。在流动池装置中,具有丰富活性氧物种和石墨烯结构的激光诱导石墨烯(LIG)表现出高催化性能,包括高法拉第效率(超过78%)和高质量活性(814 mmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹),优于大多数已报道的碳基电催化剂。密度泛函理论表明,邻近C-O、O-C=O物种的间位C原子是关键催化位点。因此,我们开发了一种简便的方法,可将生物质快速转化为用于H₂O₂合成的石墨烯电催化剂。
