A series of hybrid catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) has been investigated. They are composed of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) coated with iron strapped porphyrins. Two porphyrins have been probed; both are strapped with the same skeleton and differ only by the number of overhung carboxylic acid(s), either one or two. In this structure, the carboxylic acid group can act as a proton relay between the medium and the catalyst or as a polar group surrounding the dioxygen binding cavity. While the number of carboxylic acid group(s) does not exhibit a significant influence on the catalytic properties, the combination of both components–MWNTs and porphyrin–leads to a better catalytic activity than those of the nanotubes or the porphyrins taken separately.

We report the synthesis of a series of hybrid electrocatalysts toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) by ionic self-assembly of positively charged Fe(III) meso-tetra([Formula: see text]-methyl-4-pyridyl)porphyrin (FeP) with negatively charged H3PMo[Formula: see text]O[Formula: see text] (PMo[Formula: see text] in ethanol solution under ambient conditions in the presence of suspended multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Self-assembled FeP/PMo[Formula: see text] was well-dispersed on MWCNTs with a tunable loading from 26.3% to 55.6%. Interestingly, the hybrid electrocatalysts demonstrated a much higher ORR activity than individual PMo[Formula: see text] and FeP in acidic media. We speculate that this activity enhancement might originate from a possible synergy between PMo[Formula: see text] and FeP. This study may be extended to the design and synthesis of other types of hybrid electrocatalysts for applications in electrochemical energy conversion, storage and sensing.
