Fluorination and co-doping of ZIF-8 by ball mill grinding for efficient oxygen reduction electrocatalysis
- The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a common process in a variety of electrochemical devices, like fuel cells and metal air batteries. The sluggish kinetics of the ORR require an electrocatalyst to pass this bottleneck.[1] Currently, the most used catalytical systems are platinum-based, with several drawbacks, such as the high cost, low availability, and deactivation by CO poisoning.[2] Efforts are made to develop efficient, durable and low cost catalysts to promote the commercialization of fuel cells.
Non-precious metal catalysts are promising candidates for efficient ORR catalysis. It has been shown that pyrolyzing metal organic frameworks (MOFs) under inert conditions yields carbon-rich materials, with evenly distributed metal sites, which possess promising electrocatalytic activity.[3] One widely used type of MOF as ORR catalyst precursors is the zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF) where metal cations are linked through imidazole-based ligands.

Their porous nature is partially retained after carbonization, making MOFs very suitable precursor materials.
Herein we report the mechanochemical synthesis and structural analysis of Co-doped ZIF-8 (Zn), as well as two polymorphs (dense and prorous) of fluorinated Co-doped CF3-ZIF-8 (Zn). The samples showed electrochemical performance comparable to platinum after carbonization for 1 h at temperatures ranging between 850 – 1000°C.…
