abstract = {An innovative approach for the design of air electrodes for
metal–air batteries are free-standing scaffolds made of
electrospun polyacrylonitrile fibres. In this study,
cobalt-decorated fibres are prepared, and the influence of
carbonisation temperature on the resulting particle
decoration, as well as on fibre structure and morphology is
discussed. Scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy,
X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,
elemental analysis, and inductively coupled plasma optical
emission spectrometry are used for characterisation. The
modified fibre system is compared to a benchmark system
without cobalt additives. Cobalt is known to catalyse the
formation of graphite in carbonaceous materials at elevated
temperatures. As a result of cobalt migration in the
material the resulting overall morphology is that of
turbostratic carbon. Nitrogen removal and nitrogen-type
distribution are enhanced by the cobalt additives. At lower
carbonisation temperatures cobalt is distributed over the
surface of the fibres, whereas at high carbonisation
temperatures it forms particles with diameters up to 300 nm.
Free-standing, current-collector-free electrodes assembled
from carbonised cobalt-decorated fibre mats display
promising performance for the oxygen reduction reaction in
aqueous alkaline media. High current densities at an
overpotential of 100 mV and low overpotentials at current
densities of 333 μA·cm−2 were found for all electrodes
made from cobalt-decorated fibre mats carbonised at
temperatures between 800 and 1000 °C.},
