Abstract

Sulfur (S)-doped graphene sheets were prepared by a facile electrochemical method, which effectively combined exfoliation of graphite and in situ S doping of graphene together. The metal-free S-doped graphene sheets exhibit high electrocatalytic activity, long-term stability, and excellent tolerance to cross-over effects of methanol in alkaline media for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), indicating that these S-doped graphene sheets possess great potential for a substitute for Pt-based catalysts in fuel cells.
