摘要

氮掺杂的多孔碳材料有望能取代当前普遍应用于质子交换膜燃料电池和金属-空气电池阴极中的贵金属氧还原催化剂，因而备受关注. 模板辅助合成技术作为一种可靠、通用的方法已经在多孔碳电催化剂的制备中得到了广泛的应用. 在碳基ORR电催化剂中，其ORR活性受到诸多因素的影响，如掺杂剂的浓度及其在碳上的分子掺杂态、孔洞结构、比表面积以及碳基材料的导电性等. 本文对近期氮掺杂多孔碳电催化剂的设计、制备、功能化及其在氧还原电催化中的应用研究进展进行了总结，同时展望了模板辅助合成法的一些发展趋势.

Abstract

Nitrogen (N)-doped porous carbons are potential alternatives to precious metal catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at the cathodes of proton exchange membrane fuel cells and metal-air batteries. Template-assisted synthesis has been used extensively as a robust and versatile method in the preparation of such carbon catalysts, where the ORR activity has been found to be dependent on various structural parameters, such as the concentrations and molecular configurations of the dopants, and the porosity, surface accessibility and electrical conductivity of the carbon materials. In this review, we summarize recent progress in this area of research focusing on the design, preparation and engineering of N-doped porous carbons, as well as their ORR catalytic activity. Future trends in the development of N-doped porous carbons are also pointed out.
