摘要：

N-doped carbon was prepared from dicyandiamide as the source for both carbon and nitrogen. Dicyandiamide was pyrolyzed at 900 degrees C on various metal chlorides (MeCl2 center dot xH(2)O, Me = Co, Fe, and Ni) to clarify the effects of metal type on the properties of the N-doped carbon. The results showed that electrochemical and physical characteristics of the N-doped carbon were altered by the type of metal seed. The N-doped carbon from Co showed the best performance in oxygen reduction reactions (ORRs) and the order of ORR activity was N-doped carbon from Co > Fe > Ni. Raman and XPS studies revealed that the metal type during pyrolysis step determined degree of sp(2)-carbon network, and ORR activity of N-doped carbon was improved as the degree of sp2-carbon network increased. The effects of the amount of metal precursor on activity of ORRs and rate of H2O2 formation were faint but the carbonization yield of dicyandiamide increased as the amount of metal precursor increased. The catalysts optimized by altering the type and amount of metal seed showed a 0.60 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) onset potential and a 42% oxygen reduction reactivity at 0.40 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) compared to that of a commercial Pt/C catalyst.
