A high-efficiency noble-metal-free oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst was obtained based on the pyrolysis of the inexpensive precursor cobalt dithiolene (an S4-chelate complex) on simultaneously reduced graphene oxide (GO) as a support matrix. Developing of a new noble-metal-free catalyst to replace Pt-based catalysts of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) both in alkaline and acidic conditions is extremely significant for the fuel cell. In this paper, based on the pyrolysis of an inexpensive precursor cobalt dithiolene (a S4-chelate complex) on simultaneously reduced graphene oxide (GO) as a support matrix, a high-efficiency noble-metal-free hybrid for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) consisting of Co3S4 nanoparticles encapsulated in porous sulfur doped graphene (referred as Co3S4–S/G) was fabricated. The catalyst obtained at 800 °C (Co3S4–S/G-800) manifests excellent oxygen reduction activity. Of note, the Co3S4–S/G-800 hybrids also exhibited prominent ORR activity with high selectivity (mainly 4e– reaction process) and very low H2O2 yield in acidic electrolyte. The optimal Co3S4–S/G-800 hybrid displayed much greater tolerance to methanol and higher stability than that of Pt/C. These admirable performances endorse Co3S4–S/G-800 electrocatalyst holding great potential for fuel cells. Meanwhile, this work also provides a simple and practical method to fabricate cobalt chalcogenides by using the cost-effective and easily synthesized S4-chelate complex.
