Accelerated O2 adsorption and stabilized *OOH for electrocatalytic H2O2 production

doi:10.1016/j.jmst.2024.12.017

Abstract

Abstract: Electrocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) production via the two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e^- ORR) is promising, but non-metal catalysts with high selectivity are lacking. Herein, a high content of pyrrolic N doped carbon (HPNC) with small mesopores is constructed. Over 80 % H₂O₂ selectivity at a wide potential of 0.2-0.6 V is achieved. The finite element simulation reveals that small pore-size mesopores are beneficial to O₂ adsorption. And in-situ characterization proves that HPNC suppresses the breakage of O—O bond and enhances the stabilization of *OOH intermediates, thus improving the 2e^- ORR performance. This work highlights the combination of non-metal active sites and geometry for 2e^- ORR electrocatalysis.

Key words: Pyrrolic nitrogen, Electrocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production, Two-electron oxygen reduction reaction, Non-metal, *OOH intermediates
