Synergistic effect on BCN nanomaterials for the oxygen reduction reaction – a kinetic and mechanistic analysis to explore the active sites
E. A. Anook Nazer, Azhagumuthu Muthukrishnan
Abstract
The rGO doped with boron and nitrogen reduce the oxygen<italic>via</italic>the dissociative four-electron pathway whereas the two-electron oxygen reduction reaction is more predominant on the rGO doped with either of the two individual heteroatoms.
