We develop a host-guest strategy to construct an electrocatalyst with Fe-Co dual sites embedded on N-doped porous carbon and demonstrate its activity for oxygen reduction reaction in acidic electrolyte. Our catalyst exhibits superior oxygen reduction reaction performance, with comparable onset potential (E-onset, 1.06 vs 1.03 V) and half-wave potential (E-1/2, 0.863 vs 0.858 V) than commercial Pt/C. The fuel cell test reveals (Fe,Co)/N-C outperforms most reported Pt-free catalysts in H-2/O-2 and H-2/air. In addition, this cathode catalyst with dual metal sites is stable in a long-term operation with 50 000 cycles for electrode measurement and 100 h for H-2/air single cell operation. Density functional theory calculations reveal the dual sites is favored for activation of O-O, crucial for four-electron oxygen reduction.
