AB  - The incorporation of trace amounts (<0.2%) of Co and Ni noticeably enhanced the catalytic activity of nitrogen-free ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) towards oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). (Co,Ni)-doped OMCs were characterized by N2-adsorption measurements, X-ray powder diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy methods, and their ORR activity was estimated by voltammetry on rotating disk electrode in acidic and alkaline media. (Co,Ni)-doped OMCs show modest activities in acidic media, while the catalytic activity in alkaline media is rather high. The measured activities are compared to the Pt-based and Pt-free ORR catalysts reported in the literature. The number of electrons consumed per O2in metal-doped OMCs was found to vary between 2 and 4, which is advantageous in comparison to metal-free OMC. Also, the mass activities of metal-doped OMCs were found to be up to 2.5 times higher compared to that of metal-free OMC. We suggest that the ORR activity is governed by a balance between (i) textural properties, which determine the electrochemically accessible surface of the catalyst and which are influenced by the addition of a metal precursor, and (ii) novel active sites formed upon the introduction of metals into the carbon structure. In particular, our Density Functional Theory calculations suggest that Co and Ni atoms embedded into the single vacancies of graphene can activate the O2molecule and contribute to the decomposition of peroxide.

AB  - Coulombic capacity of zeolite-templated carbon (ZTC) measured in alkaline solution was roughly doubled by a previous potentiodynamic treatment in sulfuric acidic solution. In order to explain the reasons of this capacity improvement, the changes in chemical composition of ZTC surface during its pretreatment in sulfuric acid either by simple immersion, or by potentiodynamic polarization, and during subsequent potentiodynamic polarization in KOH solutions, were studied by means of TG/DTA, FTIR spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The results of this study open some novel insights in understanding of very peculiar carbon electrochemistry. The observed changes in surface chemistry include i) fast adsorption of H2O and formation of OH− and epoxide groups on immersion in sulfuric acid, ii) the multiplication of concentration of H2O/OH− and epoxide groups during potentiodynamic cycling in sulfuric acid and iii) the ring-opening of epoxide groups (formed during potentiodynamic cycling in acidic solution) upon its potentiodynamic cycling in alkaline solution, according to a SN2 type mechanism, which results in the formation of aromatic OH-containing diol compounds. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd
