Synthesis of graphene anchored with atomically isolated cobalt from a promising graphite-like supramolecule

Abstract

The application of heteroatom-doped graphene for photochemical and electrochemical reactions is primarily hindered by the lack of a controllable and facile synthesis strategy. In this work, few-layer CoN-graphene (1.8 nm thickness) with atomic Co has been fabricated via pyrolysis exfoliation. The half wave potential of CoN-graphene reaches 0.875 V vs. RHE, and the corresponding direct methanol fuel cell performance is 100% (higher than that of the commercial Pt/C catalyst), demonstrating potential for practical application in energy conversion devices.
