Abstract
The performance of proton exchange membrane fuel cells is heavily dependent on the microstructure of electrode catalyst especially at low catalyst loadings. This work shows a hybrid electrocatalyst consisting of PtNi-W alloy nanocrystals loaded on carbon surface with atomically dispersed W sites by a two-step straightforward method. Single-atomic W can be found on the carbon surface, which can form protonic acid sites and establish an extended proton transport network at the catalyst surface. When implemented in membrane electrode assembly as cathode at ultra-low loading of 0.05 mgPt cm-2, the peak power density of the cell is enhanced by 64.4% compared to that with the commercial Pt/C catalyst. The theoretical calculation suggests that the single-atomic W possesses a favorable energetics toward the formation of *OOH whereby the intermediates can be efficiently converted and further reduced to water, revealing a interfacial cascade catalysis facilitated by the single-atomic W. This work highlights a novel functional hybrid electrocatalyst design from the atomic level that enables to solve the bottle-neck issues at device level.

Abstract
The introduction of electron-withdrawing group into porphyrin molecule as cytochrome P450 model can tune the energy level and have an effect on the electronic structure. In this work, linking with the strong electron-withdrawing fluorine atoms, a starburst dendritic molecule, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)-21H,23H-porphyrin iron (III) chloride (FeTFPP), containing a saddle-shaped porphyrin as the central core and four pentafluorophenyl rings as the peripheral functional groups was successfully synthesized. Subsequently, the macrocyclic conjugate polymer film of FeTFPP was achieved via a low-cost electrochemical method and exploited as an efficient mimetic enzyme. Furthermore, a biomimetic sensor was constructed by the poly(FeTFPP) film and graphene (rGO) sheet (rGO-poly(FeTFPP)) for selective and sensitive detection of dopamine (DA). Here, the FeTFPP polymer performs three functions: electrochemical recognition (owing to the hydrogen bonding between the strongly electronegative fluorine atoms and DA), biomimetic microenvironment (owing to interaction between porphyrin core and DA), electrocatalysis (owing to remarkable catalytic ability of iron (III) ion). Under optimum conditions, the response to DA was linear in the concentration range between 0.05 to 300μM, and the detection limit was 0.023μM. In addition, we applied the rGO-poly(FeTFPP) film to detect DA in real samples and the results implied its feasibility for practical application. As a result, it is believed that the rGO-poly(FeTFPP) film is one of the promising biomimetic catalysts for electrocatalysis and relevant fields.

Synergetic catalysis based on the proline tailed metalloporphyrin with graphene sheet as efficient mimetic enzyme for ultrasensitive electrochemical detection of dopamine. Biosens Bioelectron 2015; 77:1032-8. [PMID: 26556183 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2015.10.085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2015] [Accepted: 10/29/2015] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
In this paper, linking with the butoxycarbonyl (BOC) protection of proline, a new tailed metalloporphyrin with many useful active functions, nickel (II) 5-[4-N-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-l-prolinecoxylpropyloxy]phenyl-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin (NiTBLPyP), was designed and synthesized. And the NiTBLPyP polymer (poly(NiTBLPyP)) was successfully obtained via a low-cost electrochemical method and exploited as an efficient mimic enzyme. Subsequently, a noncovalent nanohybrid of poly(NiTBLPyP) with graphene (rGO) sheet (rGO-poly(NiTBLPyP)) was prepared through π-π stacking interaction for the ultrasensitive and selective detection of DA. The nanohybrid was characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectra, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Due to the excellent electrocatalytic ability of poly(NiTBLPyP) film and aromatic π-π stacking interaction between poly(NiTBLPyP and rGO sheet, the obtained rGO-poly(NiTBLPyP) film exhibited a great synergistic amplification effect toward dopamine oxidation. Under optimum experimental conditions, the logarithm of catalytic currents showed a good linear relationship with that of the dopamine concentration in the range of 0.01-200 μM with a low detection limit of 1.40 nM. With good sensitivity and selectivity, the present method was applied to the determination of DA in real sample and the results was satisfactory. Thus, the rGO-poly(NiTBLPyP) film is one of the promising mimetic enzyme for electrocatalysis and relevant fields.
