Active sites for the oxygen reduction reaction in nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers
Buan, Marthe Emelie Melandsø; Cognigni, Andrea; Walmsley, John; Muthuswamy, Navaneethan; Rønning, Magnus (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Understanding the role of iron and the nature of the active sites in nitrogen-doped carbon nanomaterials is vital for their future application as oxygen reduction electrocatalysts in fuel cells. In this paper, porphyrin-like ... -
Boosted Supercapacitive Energy with High Rate Capability of aCarbon Framework with Hierarchical Pore Structure in an Ionic Liquid
Wang, Xuehang; Zhou, Haitao; Lou, Fengliu; Li, Yahao; Buan, Marthe Emelie Melandsø; Duan, Xuezhi; Walmsley, John Charles; Sheridan, Edel; Chen, De (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The specific energy of a supercapacitor (SC) with an ionic liquid (IL)-based electrolyte is larger than that using an aqueous electrolyte owing to the wide operating voltage window provided by the IL. However, the wide-scale ... -
Electrochemical syngas production from CO2 and water with CNT supported ZnO catalysts
Hjorth, Ida; Wang, Yalan; Li, Yahao; Buan, Marthe Emelie Melandsø; Nord, Magnue; Rønning, Magnus; Yang, Jia; Chen, De (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Electrochemical reduction of CO2 and H2O can provide a promising pathway to synthesis gas generation for renewable electric energy storage and fuel production with the closed anthropogenic carbon cycle. However, the lack ... -
Enhancing capacitance of supercapacitor with both organic electrolyte and ionic liquid electrolyte on a biomass-derived carbon
Wang, Xuehang; Li, Yahao; Lou, Fengliu; Buan, Marthe Emelie Melandsø; Sheridan, Edel; Chen, De (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Supercapacitor (SC) with organic electrolyte or ionic liquid (IL) electrolyte can generally store/release higher energy than that with an aqueous electrolyte, due to a larger operating voltage window of a non-aqueous ... -
Evaluation of ORR active sites in nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers by KOH post treatment
Muthuswamy, Navaneethan; Buan, Marthe Emelie Melandsø; Walmsley, John; Rønning, Magnus (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Oxygen reduction on N-doped carbon nanomaterials is believed to take place at either N-centered active sites (C-Nx) or Fe-centered active sites (Fe-Nx). In this work the origin of the oxygen reduction on nitrogen-doped ... -
Nitrogen-doped carbon nanofiber catalyst for ORR in PEM fuel cell stack: Performance, durability and market application aspects
Bokach, Dmitry; ten Hoopen, Sander; Muthuswamy, Navaneethan; Buan, Marthe Emelie Melandsø; Rønning, Magnus (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)A noble metal-free catalyst based on N-doped carbon nanofibers supported on graphite (N-CNF1 ) was employed for the oxygen reduction at the cathode of a Nafion PEMFC with a commercial Pt/C anode. Obtained performance in ... -
Nitrogen-doped Carbon Nanofibers for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction
Buan, Marthe Emelie Melandsø (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2017:78, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Summary of thesis: One of the major obstacles for the commercialization of fuel cells is the necessity for high cost noble metals to facilitate the electrode reactions. Especially the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is ... -
