The mechanism of oxygen reduction reaction for surfur-doped graphene catalyst was investigated by first-principles calculation. Several parameters, such geometry structure, reaction energy and electronic structure were used to analyze the reaction process. The results show that the OOH molecule absorbed on S-graphene with pyridine structure exhibits chemical adsorption. But the OOH molecule on S-graphene with pyrrole structure performs physical adsorption. The adsorbed energies of OOH molecule on S-graphene prove such phenomenon. The electronic structure shows that the excellent ORR of OOH molecule on S-graphene with pyridine structure comes from their adjacent energy level of valence electron no matter in highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) or lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO).
