Spinel CuCo2O4 Nanoparticles Supported on N-Doped Reduced Graphene Oxide: A Highly Active and Stable Hybrid Electrocatalyst for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction
In this Letter, for the first time, we demonstrated the preparation of a highly efficient electrocatalyst, spinel CuCo2O4 nanoparticles supported on N-doped reduced graphene oxide (CuCo2O4/N-rGO), for an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) under alkaline media. The hybrid exhibits higher ORR catalytic activity than CuCo2O4 or N-rGO alone, the physical mixture of CuCo2O4 nanoparticles and N-rGO, and Co3O4/N-rGO. Moreover, such a hybrid affords superior durability to the commercial Pt/C catalyst.
