Efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts for reversible oxygen electrodes are vitally important for the realization of important future generation electrochemical energy conversion devices, such as regenerative fuel cells and rechargeable metal-air batteries. Importantly, the electrocatalysts need not only be efficient but also inexpensive and source-abundant from the viewpoint of sustainability. Herein, we report active and stable bifunctional catalysts for oxygen electrodes obtained by pyrolysis of pristine coal in ammonia. The pyrolysis yielded nitrogen-rich mesoporous graphitic carbon containing pyrrolic, pyridinic and graphitic groups, which demonstrated very good electrocatalysis of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in 0.1 M NaOH. The optimized catalyst afforded a stable round-trip over-voltage of 0.97 V when cycling between the ORR at a current density of -1.0 mA cm(-2) and the OER at 10 mA cm(-2), lower than those of RuO2 and IrO2 in the same solution, thus unveiling a unique opportunity to directly transform coal into a valuable catalyst without costly processing.
