A series of graphene-metal-tetraphenylporphyrin(GR-MTPP) nanocomposite materials were prepared and applied in the oxygen reduction reaction as efficient electrocatalysts.MTPPs(FeTPP,CoTPP,NiTPP,CuTPP,ZnTPP and MnTPP) were synthesized via a coordination reaction between metal ions and TPP.Graphene-metal-tetraphenylporphyrin nanocomposition materials were successfully prepared by the π-π stacking interaction and applied in the electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction.The results showed that GR-MTPPs exhibited enhanced electrocatalytic activity toward oxygen reduction due to the synergistic effect between the graphene and MTTP.The large electro-active surface area and fast charge transfered of graphene facilitated the electrocatalytic oxygen reduction of MTPP.The GR-FeTPP showed the peak potential at-0.24 V with the current response of 85 μA for the eletrocatalytic reduction of oxygen.The GR-CoTPP showed the peak potential at-0.19 V with the current response of 44 μA for the eletrocatalytic reduction of oxygen.It is indicated that GR-MTPP nanocomposite materials are prominent electrocatalysts for oxygen sensors.
