A first-principles study on the ORR catalytic activity of halogen-doped graphene substrates
摘要
We have investigated the ORR catalytic activity of halogen single-atom-doped graphene using first-principles methods. The single-vacancy halogen-doped graphene has a lower formation energy than double-vacancy doped graphene. The adsorbates primarily bind to the carbon atoms near the halogen atoms, with varying adsorption configurations. The ORR catalytic activity of halogen-doped graphene follows the order F> Br> Cl, which is consistent with experimental measurements. The superior ORR catalytic activity of Br-doped graphene compared to Cl is due to stronger adsorption of OOH, which reduces the Gibbs free energy for the hydrogenation of O
