Abstract

In this study, the preparation of a highly efficient metal-free electrocatalyst, boron and nitrogen codoped reduced graphene oxide (BN-rGO), with an excellent durability is reported. The BN-rGO were prepared in one step using boric and nitric acid mixture, exhibiting highly improved oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity than those of the pristine GO and single doped rGOs. The electrocatalyst also showed the excellent long-term durability and CO tolerance than those of the commercial Pt/C catalysts. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved.
