Title: Tuning the Activity of Heterogeneous Cofacial Cobalt Porphyrins for Oxygen Reduction Electrocatalysis through Self‐Assembly

Abstract

Abstract We report a suite of coordination‐driven self‐assembled prisms for heterogeneous electrocatalytic oxygen reduction (ORR) differing in the molecular clips linking two porphyrin faces in a cofacial arrangement. ORR activities and selectivities of monomeric CoTPyP along with cofacial prisms Ox‐Co , Oxa‐Co , and Benzo‐Co were probed using cyclic voltammetry and rotating ring‐disk techniques. All species were immobilized as heterogeneous catalysts on glassy carbon electrodes using a Nafion ink method. The selectivities of Ox‐Co , Oxa‐Co , and Benzo‐Co prisms towards H 2 O as determined by RRDE were 87, 97, and 75 %, respectively. The current density of the Oxa‐Co plateaus at five times that of Pt/C when normalized per Co/Pt. The high synthetic yield (79 %), competitive overpotential ( η ≈800 mV) and high selectivity (%H 2 O ≈97 %) of the Oxa‐Co highlights how self‐assembly can be used to address multi‐electron multi‐proton transformations using polynuclear catalysts.
