An investigation of electrocatalytic activity of the FeCe nanoparticle encapsulated carbon nanotube towards oxygen reduction reaction
Abstract
) transfer mechanism. The associative pathway of the ORR, along with various reaction intermediates, was explored using the adsorption energy. Our energy calculation demonstrates that the active sites on the FeCe@CNT material are thermodynamically favorable for catalyzing the ORR. Our study found that the FeCe@CNT material is a potential candidate that can be used in the fuel cell as a cathodic electrode material. The valuable insights from the strong FeCe nanoparticle interaction with the CNT will help advance the interfacial design of novel electrocatalysts towards the ORR.
