Instantaneous one-pot synthesis of Fe-N-modified graphene as an efficient electrocatalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction in acidic solutions

Chem Commun (Camb). 2012 Oct 21;48(82):10213-5. doi: 10.1039/c2cc34719a.

Abstract

We successfully developed a one-pot synthesis method of graphenes modified with iron and nitrogen. The modified graphenes functioned as an efficient electrocatalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction in acidic solutions with an onset-potential of 850 mV vs. RHE in acidic solutions.
