title: Study of Electrocatalytic Properties of Metal-Organic Framework PCN-223 for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction.
abstract: A highly robust metal-organic framework (MOF) constructed from Zr6oxo clusters and Fe(III) porphyrin linkers, PCN-223-Fe was investigated as a heterogeneous catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Films of the framework were grown on a conductive FTO substrate and showed a high catalytic current upon application of cathodic potentials and achieved high H2O/H2O2selectivity. In addition, the effect of the proton source on the catalytic performance was also investigated.
