The structure of active sites in Fe-based nonprecious metal oxygen reduction reaction catalysts remains unknown, limiting the ability to follow a rational design paradigm for catalyst improvement. Previous studies indicate that N-coordinated Fe defects at graphene edges are the most stable such sites. Density functional theory is used for determination of stable potential oxygen reduction reaction active sites. Clusters of Fe-N-x defects are found to have N-coordination-dependent stability. Previously reported interedge structures are found to be significantly less stable than in-edge defect structures under relevant synthesis conditions. Clusters that include Fe-N-3 defects are found to spontaneously cleave the O-O bond.
