Abstract
The P, S and N co-doped mesoporous carbon materials have been prepared by a soft template method. The electrocatalytic activity of as-prepared P, S and N co-doped carbon for ORR has been studied by using a rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE) technique. The RRDE results reveal that ternary doping of P, N and S into carbon induces higher performance for ORR than only P doping or P and N co-doping. The heteroatom doping is found to play an important role in the structure and the ORR activity of carbon.
