Controlling factor of electrocatalytic activity of iron-containing carbon materials

摘要

Iron-containing carbons were prepared from mixtures of ferrocene and poly(furfuryl alcohol) by varying their preparation conditions. The electrocatalytic activity of the carbons was assessed with Fe(CN)(6)(3-)/Fe(CN)(6)(4-) redox reaction, and was revealed to be strongly affected by the fraction of a turbostratic carbon structure (Ts-phase) in the material determined by X-ray diffraction.
