Abstract

Iron single-atom catalysts are shown to achieve high oxygen reduction reaction activity by stabilizing a high-spin Fe3+N4 centre, which optimizes intermediate binding and catalytic turnover. This discovery provides crucial insights into how electronic structure dictates performance, guiding the design of non-precious-metal catalysts for sustainable energy conversion technologies.
