摘要

In this study,nitrogen doped carbon aerogel (NCA) electrocatalyst with hierarchical pore structure was successfully prepared by using cellulose nanofibril (CNF) as carbon framework and g-C3N4 with high nitrogen compound as nitrogen source and pore-forming agent. The physicochemical structure,oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity of NCA were investigated,and properties of zinc-air battery based on NCA were also studied. NCA revealed hierarchical pore structure with high specific surface area of 381.77 m2/g,and successful nitrogen doping with nitrogen doping content of 3.27%. NCA displayed excellent ORR performances with high half-wave potential of 0.83 V,which was close to that of commercial platinum-based electrocatalyst. The zinc-air battery in water phase using the NCA as a cathode material exhibited long-term stability for more than 110 h at a current density of 10 mA/cm2,showing a good battery serviceability. ? 2022 China Technical Association of Paper Industry.
