报告摘要：
Replacement of precious metal catalysts by commercially available alternatives is of great importance among both fundamental and practical catalysis research. Nanostructured carbon-based and transition metal materials have demonstrated promising catalytic properties in a wide range of energy generation/storage applications. Specifically engineering carbon with guest metals/metal-free atoms can improve its catalytic activity for electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), thus can be considered as potential substitutes for the expensive Pt/C or IrO2 catalysts in metal-air batteries and water splitting process. In this presentation, I will talk about the synthesis of nonprecious metal and metal free elements-doped graphene, and their application on electrocatalysis [1-6]. The excellent OER and HER performance (high catalytic activity and efficiency) and reliable stability indicate that new materials are promising highly efficient electrocatalysts for clean energy conversion. I will also present some research results of CO2 electrocatalytic reduction conducted in my research group [7,8].
