Molecular Iron Phthalocyanines Anchoring Onto ZIF-67-Derived Cobalt-Carbon Nanomaterials as Bifunctional Oxygen Catalysts

A team of researchers from Wenzhou University, Zhaotong University, and the State Grid Wencheng Electric Power Supply Company, China has developed a novel bifunctional oxygen catalyst (CoNC@FePc). This catalyst is synthesized by anchoring iron phthalocyanine (FePc) molecules onto cobalt nanoparticles embedded within a nitrogen-doped carbon matrix derived from ZIF-67. The study leverages the significant electron transfer between cobalt nanopartic…
