It is crucial to design the inexpensive and highly efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) for the future commercialization of fuel cell devices. Herein, a closely packed amide polyphthalocyanine iron (CPMPcFe) with two-dimensional planar structure supported by Vulcan XC-72 was firstly prepared, and then the precursor was sintered at 400 degrees C under an Ar flow to obtain the CPMPcFe/C (1:1) catalyst. The SEM and TEM images of the CPMPcFe/C catalysts confirmed that CPMPcFe was well distributed on the surface of Vulcan XC-72. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) further identified the active center of CPMPcFe/C (1:1, 400 degrees C) was FeN4 in the polyphthalocyanine ring. Electrochemically, CPMPcFe/C displays excellent oxygen reduction reaction electrocatalytical properties. Firstly, it showed a half-wave potential of 0.87 V, which was more positive than those of iron phthalocyanine/C (FePc/C, 0.71 V) and 6 wt% Pt/C (0.83 V). The oxygen reduction current loss of CPMPcFe/C after 5000-cycle cyclic voltammetry test was 0.05 mA cm(-2), while that of FePc/C was 0.35 mA cm(-2). Chronoamperometry tests showed that FePc/C exhibited a rapid decrease of the current density by about 28.2%, while there was only about 16.9% loss for the current density of CPMPcFe/C under the same operation.
