Electronic tuning of functionalized iron porphyrins for 4-electron dominant oxygen reduction catalysis
Iron porphyrins functionalized with -NH<sub>2</sub>, -COOH and -C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub> groups were investigated for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). FePor-C6F5/CNT exhibited the best activity, influenced by electronic modulation. All catalysts demonstrated a preference for the 4e<sup>-</sup> route, providing valuable insights into the design of molecular catalysts for energy applications.
