Abstract
We present the results of electrochemical and structural investigations of several carbon materials: carbon blacks AD 100 and XC 72, ultradisperse diamond (UDD), multiwalled nanotubes (MWNT), various types of filament-like carbon materials (CFC series), and similar carbon materials promoted with cobalt tetra(para-methoxyphenyl) porphyrin (CoTMPhP) pyropolymer (PP). The electrochemical studies were performed at room temperature in 0.5 M H2SO4 by using a rotating disk electrode (RDE), a rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE) (a thin layer of test material was applied onto the disk electrode), and a floating electrode. Structural characterization of initial and promoted carbon materials involved the determination of specific surface area by the BET method and by the polarization capacitance from cyclic voltammograms, and the particle morphology and dimensions by the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) method. The study of kinetics and mechanism of oxygen electroreduction on carbon materials promoted with CoTMPhP PP showed that the catalysts based on carbon materials of CFC and UDD series possess high specific activity in this reaction and high selectivity with respect to oxygen reduction to water. These catalysts are superior to the catalysts, in which carbon blacks AD 100 and XC 72 are used as the supports, in the specific activity.
