Bimetallic CoSn nanoparticles anchored on N-doped carbon as antibacterial oxygen reduction catalysts for microbial fuel cells

Abstract

Sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics and biofilm formation limited the power generation and stability of microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Herein, bimetallic CoSn nanoparticles anchored on ZIF-derived N-doped carbon (CoSn@NC)...

N-Doped Carbon-Supported CoCu-Layered Double Hydroxide Nanosheets as Antibacterial Oxygen Reduction Catalysts for Microbial Fuel Cells

“…The utilization of metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) is prevalent in the production of precursors for N-doped carbon materials. 12,13 Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), representative MOFs, possess excellent porosity and active area and an adjustable surface chemistry structure. 14,15 Heteroatoms (Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu) of ZIFs can enrich the coordination condition and improve the ORR activity.…”

Cobalt oxide (CoO x ) in the carbon substrate is regarded as an efficient ORR catalyst, contributing to excellent structural stability and active area .…”

Bamboo-like nitrogen-doped carbon supported chlorine-doped Fe2P as an antibacterial oxygen reduction catalyst

“…7 Copper, silver, chlorine, and tin elements are incorporated to enhance the antibacterial performance of MFC cathodes. 8–11 Chlorine possesses a distinctive antibacterial mechanism, generating reactive oxygen species. Antibacterial chlorine hinders the formation of cathode biofilms in MFCs, thereby enhancing catalytic activity and improving output energy.…”

A NiCo2S4 octahedral configuration doped by Mn, Zn and Cu for the oxygen evolution reaction

“…Therefore, it is important to improve the OER performance of spinel sulfide by activating active sites and accelerating electron transmission. Many effective strategies have been carried out to enhance catalytic performance, such as dopant insertion, 5,6 defect 7,8 and heterojunction construction, 9–11 and surface interface regulation. 12,13…”
