Heterogeneous catalysis often involves molecular adsorptions to charged catalyst site and reactions triggered by catalyst charges. Here we use first-principles simulations to design oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst based on double transition metal (TM) atoms stably supported by 2D crystal C2N. It not only holds characters of low cost and high durability but also effectively accumulates surface polarization charges on TMs and later deliveries to adsorbed O-2 molecule. The Co-Co, Ni Ni, and Cu-Cu catalysts exhibit high adsorption energies and extremely low dissociation barriers for O-2, as compared with their single-atom counterparts. Co-Co on C2N presents less than half the value of the reaction barrier of bulk Pt catalysts in the ORR rate-determining steps. These catalytic improvements are well explained by the dependences of charge polarization on various systems, which opens up a new strategy for optimizing TM catalytic performance with the least metal atoms on porous low dimensional materials.
