Boosting the ORR performance of modified carbon black via C–O bonds

Carbon black is a kind of material that is simple to obtain and inexpensive. We have obtained a series of materials with high oxygen reduction catalytic activity through simple modification of carbon black, and at the same time explored the mechanism of catalytic reduction of oxygen in such materials. Such features guarantee that the catalysts can greatly reduce the costs and provide promising potential in HEMFC applications.
