  2. Structural Selectivity of CO Oxidation on Fe/N/C Catalysts P. Zhang, X. F. Chen, J. S. Lian, and Q. Jiang J. Phys. Chem. C 2012, 116, 17572−17579

  3. We have performed extensive density functional theory calculations for the elementary steps in CO oxidation on Fe/N/C active sites, including Fe-N4 and Fe-N3 porphyrin-like carbon nanotube (T-FeN4 and T-FeN3), Fe-N4 porphyrin-like graphene (G-FeN4), and Fe-N2 nanoribbon (R-FeN2).

  4. Eadvalues of O2 are larger than that of CO on T-FeN3 and R-FeN2, suggesting that Fe in TFeN3 and R-FeN2 will be dominantly covered by the adsorbed O2 if the CO/O2 mixture is injected as the reaction gas. However, CO adsorption is more favorable than O2 on T-FeN4 and G-FeN4

  5. T-FeN4 and G-FeN4 :The dominating contributions for O2 adsorption are the interactions between O2-2π* and Fe-3d orbitals. The CO interact with Fe chiefly through hybridization between CO-5σ and Fe-3d, also CO-2π* and Fe-3d. Since the Ead value of CO on Fe/N/C is not only related to the electron donation from CO-5σ to metals but also to electron back- donation from metals to CO-2π* TFeN3:Not only O2-2π*, but also O2-1π, O2-5σ, and O2-4σ*, interact with Fe-3d

  6. T-FeN4 and G-FeN4 The electron transfer within the tube walls is easier on the T-FeN4 than on the G-FeN4 due to the larger curvature of the former. （a）CO + O2 → OOCO → CO2 + O（RDS） (b) CO + O → CO2

  7. T-FeN3 First, 3 CO molecules can adsorb on Fe in T-FeN3, 2 CO2 were produced. Both of CO and O2 can be readily coadsorbed on the embedded-Fe atom O2 first dissociates rather than reacts with CO to form O−O−CO(a). CO oxidation(b)

  8. R-FeN2 O2 first is adsorbed on Fe instead of reacting with two CO to form COOOOC complex

  10. Catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are keycomponents of fuel cells.Metals (Fe, Co, etc.) or metal oxides (Fe2O3, Fe3O4, Co3O4, IrO2, etc.) as well as nitrogencoordinated metal on carbon4 and metal-free doped carbon materials have been actively pursued. In this communication, we demonstrate Fe3O4/N-GAs, a novel class of monolithic Fe3O4 NPs supported on 3D N-doped grapheneaerogels (N-GAs).

  11. Fabrication process Figure1 1. Graphene oxide (GO）was dispersed in water by sonication, reaching a concentration up to 1.5 mg mL−1. 2. Iron acetate (1−40 mg) and polypyrrole (PPy) (20 mg) were slowly added to 6 mL of the GO dispersion to form a stable aqueous suspension. 3 .Ternary components were hydrothermally assembled at 180 °C for 12 h to form a graphene-based 3D hydrogel. 4. The as-prepared hydrogel was directly dehydrated via a freeze-drying process to maintain the 3D monolithic architecture and then heated at 600 °C for 3 h under nitrogen.

  12. Result and discussion Figure2 （a）The XRD no apparent diffraction peak could be identified at 20−30°, indicating that Fe3O4 NPs were efficiently deposited on the graphene surface, suppressing the stacking of graphene layers. (b−d) Typical SEM images of Fe3O4/N-GAs. (e) TEM and (f) HRTEM images of Fe3O4/N-GAs (with sizes of 20−80 nm) revealing an Fe3O4 NP wrapped by graphene layers.

(g, h) High-resolution XPSspectra of Fe3O4/N-Gas (g) Fe 2p; (h) N 1s It is notable that the nitrogen content is much higher in the region of Fe3O4 NPs than in graphene layers (Figure 3e), indicating that Fe−N−C active sites have been established at the Fe3O4 NP interface. The high-resolution N 1s scan, (Figure 3h) indicated the presence of two forms of nitrogen , namely, pyrrolic N (401.0±0.2 eV) and pyridinic N (398.1±0.2eV) Figure3
