Abstract:	An important subject in improvement of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (FCs) is slug-gish kinetics of cathodic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). In present work, Mn-doped vacancy boron nitride nanosheet has been offered as a noble-metal-free and efficient electrocatalyst for ORR process in fuel cells employing DFT computation. It is discovered that adsorption energy (Eads) values on Mn-N active site of selected catalysts enhance in order of: H2O > H2O2 > O2 > OOH > OH > O. For all intermediates containing oxygen, there is almost a consistent trend in Eads alteration. A slight thermodynamic force drives H2O2 formation and considerable ones for reduction of OOH into O* (or to 2OH) indicate that 4e- pathway is more useful compared to 2e- pathway. Besides, from thermodynamic point of view, final stage of re-duction (OH + H+ + e- & RARR; H2O + *) within the highest value of & UDelta;G for Mn-doped vacancy BN catalyst is rate-determining step (RDS). A larger HOMO-LUMO gap or a manganese d-band center remote from Fermi level indicates that catalyst doesn't favor adsorption of oxygen-containing species, which in turn results in higher ORR performance.
