The past decade has witnessed a rapid surge of interest in the research and development of non-precious metal-based electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Until now, the best catalysts in acidic electrolytes have exclusively been Fe-N-C-type materials from high-temperature pyrolysis. Despite the ORR activities of metal phthalocyanine or porphyrin macrocycles having long been known, their durability remains poor. In this work, we use these macrocycles as a basis to develop a novel organic-carbon hybrid material from in-situ polymerization of iron phthalocyanine on conductive multiwalled carbon nanotube scaffolds using a low-temperature microwave heating method. At an optimal polymerto-carbon ratio, the hybrid electrocatalyst exhibits excellent ORR activity with a positive half-wave potential (0.80 V), large mass activity (up to 18.0 A/g at 0.80 V), and a low peroxide yield (< 3%). In addition, strong electronic coupling between the polymer and carbon nanotubes is believed to suppress demetallization of the macrocycles, significantly improving cycling stability in acids. Our study represents a rare example of non-precious metal-based electrocatalysts prepared without high-temperature pyrolysis, while having ORR activity in acidic media with potential for practical applications.
