Abstract
We anchored atomically dispersed Fe-N4 sites on hollow N-doped carbon spheres (Fe SAs/HNCSs-800) for electrocatalytic ORR; the obtained material exhibited electrocatalytic activity and stability comparable to that of commercial Pt/C, with an onset potential of 0.925 V and a half-wave potential of 0.867 V. Aberration-corrected high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy results confirmed the presence of highly dispersed Fe single atoms in Fe SAs/HNCSs-800. The results of experiments and theoretical calculations show that the single-atom dispersed Fe-N4 serve as the ORR active sites, and the adjacent C defects can effectively regulate the electronic structure of Fe atoms and improve the electrocatalytic ORR activity.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology (Ranliao Huaxue Xuebao) is a Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS) journal started in 1956, sponsored by the Chinese Chemical Society and the Institute of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS). The journal is published bimonthly by Science Press in China and widely distributed in about 20 countries. Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology publishes reports of both basic and applied research in the chemistry and chemical engineering of many energy sources, including that involved in the nature, processing and utilization of coal, petroleum, oil shale, natural gas, biomass and synfuels, as well as related subjects of increasing interest such as C1 chemistry, pollutions control and new catalytic materials. Types of publications include original research articles, short communications, research notes and reviews. Both domestic and international contributors are welcome. Manuscripts written in Chinese or English will be accepted. Additional English titles, abstracts and key words should be included in Chinese manuscripts. All manuscripts are subject to critical review by the editorial committee, which is composed of about 10 foreign and 50 Chinese experts in fuel science. Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology has been a source of primary research work in fuel chemistry as a Chinese core scientific periodical.
