“…Meanwhile, some two-dimensional layer-like oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts such as N-doped single-layer graphene [47], B and N co-doped graphite layers [48], transition metal di-chalcogenides (MoSe 2 , WS 2 , WSe 2 ) [49], iron polyphthalocyanine [50] and Co 0.85 Se/graphene hybrid nanosheets [51] have been widely investigated in the past five years. Even the layered SiC sheets have also been calculated to be a potential effective catalysts for ORR based on the density functional theory [52]. Thus, it is of great interest to develop and investigate the characteristics and electrochemical performance of two-dimensional Li 3 VO 4 nanostuctures as well as their hybrids with graphene sheets.…”
