We demonstrate a new facile single-step synthesis of mesoporous nitrogen-doped carbon-embedded cobalt phosphide (NC-CoP) nanoparticles using a single-source precursor of the cobalt(II) bis(terpyridine)-based complex ([Co(pyterpy)2](PF6)2) by carbothermal reduction Phosphidation of cobalt is achieved with the hexafluorophosphate counteranion of the precursor complex for the first time. Polypyridyl complexes such as [Co(bpy)3](PF6)2 and [Co(terpy)2](PF6)2 do not yield the desired CoP. The at. percent of carbon in the precursor complex controls the growth of CoP. The as-synthesized NC-CoP has a large surface area of 120 m2/g and shows excellent electrocatalytic activity toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). It is highly durable and favors the four-electron pathway for the reduction of oxygen to water at low overpotential. The synergistic effect between NC and CoP facilitates the electron-transfer kinetics for ORR. In addition to this study using 4′-(4-Pyridyl)-2,2′:6′,2”-terpyridine, there are many other studies that have used 4′-(4-Pyridyl)-2,2′:6′,2”-terpyridine(cas: 112881-51-3Computed Properties of C20H14N4) was used in this study.
4′-(4-Pyridyl)-2,2′:6′,2”-terpyridine(cas: 112881-51-3) belongs to pyridine derivatives. Several pyridine derivatives play important roles in biological systems. While its biosynthesis is not fully understood, nicotinic acid (vitamin B3) occurs in some bacteria, fungi, and mammals. Computed Properties of C20H14N4
