However, its widespread use is hampered by the lack of efficient low-cost electrocatalysts. In the current study,oxygenated boron-doped carbon(O-BC) materials were realized via a green synthetic strategy involving polymer dehalogenation and employed as electrode materials for the electrochemical synthesis of H_(2)O_(2)via a 2 e-oxygen reduction.The catalytic activity of the O-BC materials was optimized through systematic variation of the boron source(H_(2)BO_(2))dosage and annealing temperature. Electrochemical measurements revealed that the optimal sample(O-BC-2-650)exhibited a selectivity of 98% for the 2 e-oxygen reduction to H2 O_(2)and an average H_(2)O_(2)production rate of412.8 mmol g_(cat)^(-1) h^(-1)in an H-type alkaline electrolyzer. Density functional theory simulations indicated that the functionalization of active B sites with one oxygen atom provides the lowest Gibbs free energy change(ΔG) of 0.03 e V for the hydrogenation of*O_(2), while functionalization with zero or two O atoms results in much larger ΔG values(0.08 and 0.10 e V,respectively). Thus, this work details a new type of green, lowcost, and metal-free electrocatalyst for H_(2)O_(2)production.展开更多
