Graphene-based hollow spheres as efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction

Abstract

A facile and straightforward approach is developed for the construction of graphene-based hollow spheres. An electron rich sodium–ammonia solution is used to effectively restore the π-conjugation of graphene. The hollow spheres exhibit excellent electrocatalytic activity towards oxygen reduction without catalyst deactivation.
