A sandwich-structured nanocomposite of alpha-ZrP/CoTMPyP [5,10,15,20 -tetrakis (N-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphyrinatocobalt(III)] was fabricated via electrostatic interaction between cobalt porphyrin and alpha-ZrP nanosheets. The obtained material was used as a modifier on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to test the electrocatalytic performance toward oxygen reduction, the results indicated that dioxygen was reduced to H2O2 via two-electron transfer.
