Abstract
In this work, potentials of aluminum doped carbon nanocage (Al–C72) as navel catalyst to oxygen reduction reaction in acidic environment are investigated. In present study, the acceptable reaction paths are examined, and optimum reaction mechanism of oxygen reduction reaction on the surface of Al-doped C72 is recognized. Results indicate that oxygen reduction reaction on Al-doped C72 surface can be proceed through Eley–Rideal (ER) and Langmuir–Hinshelwood (LH) mechanisms. In this work, the calculated initial potential to oxygen reduction reaction on Al-doped C72 surface is 0.30 V, which is smaller than initial potential the on surfaces of platinum-based catalysts (0.45 V). Results indicated that in acidic environment the initial potential for oxygen reduction process can be evaluated as 0.79 V, that correspond to 0.30 V as minimum overpotntial for oxygen reduction process. Results demonstrated that Al-doped C72 is an acceptable catalyst to oxygen reduction process with high performance.
