Multi-sites synergistic modulation in oxygen reduction electrocatalysis

Menghui Chen et al.

Summary: This study prepared a single-atom Fe-N-C catalyst through high-temperature pyrolysis, which contains various active sites like pyridinic-N-C, Fe-N-4, and pore defects. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest that these multiple active sites synergistically function to enable high-efficiency ORR electrocatalysis. The optimal Fe-N-C catalyst shows superior ORR activity compared to commercial Pt/C catalyst.
