Abstract

The activity of composite catalysts, Pt and Co-porphyrin- or Fe-phthalocyanine-based pyropolymers on low-disperse carbonaceous carriers (graphite, carbon black), in the oxygen and H2O2electroreduction in 1 M KOH is studied. Kinetic parameters of oxygen electroreduction are determined from experiments with rotating disk and model floating electrodes. Possible mechanism of the oxygen electroreduction reaction is discussed; it includes a slow stage of attachment of the second electron on the pyropolymer/carbonaceous carrier or joining the first electron (under the conditions of Temkin adsorption) on the platinum/graphite catalysts.
