Resumo
This work investigates the influence of different nitration protocols of a carbon black, the addition of tungsten carbide (WC), and
the presence of iron, in terms of the catalytic activity of electrocatalysts containing Fe-Nx moieties towards the oxygen reduction
reaction (ORR) in acidic and alkaline media. The synthesized materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD),
Raman spectroscopy (Raman), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and cyclic voltammetry (CV) with a rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE), in addition to
durability tests. In acidic media, the performance of the catalysts varied according to the type of nitration protocol, the presence of
iron, and the heat treatment temperature, which is accompanied by variations in the ORR mechanism. In alkaline electrolyte, the
electrocatalysts presented higher performances, with only an ~0.04-V difference relative to that of a standard platinum on carbon
catalyst. The number of electrons transferred per oxygen molecule, the amounts of hydrogen peroxide generated in the ORR, the
effect of catalyst loading, and the presence of iron in the catalysts were investigated with the aim of understanding the ORR
mechanism and assisting in the production of high-performance and durable materials. Finally, the two best electrocatalysts were
submitted to a standard durability test, which evidenced promising high stability at both pHs.
