    Abstract
  • Heteroatom-doped carbon-based transition-metal single-atom catalysts (SACs) are promising electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Herein, with the aid of hierarchically porous silica as hard template, a facile and general melting perfusion and mesopore-confined pyrolysis method was reported to prepare single-atomic Fe/N-S-doped carbon catalyst (FeNx/NC-S) with hierarchically porous structure and well-defined morphology. The FeNx/NC-S exhibited excellent ORR activity with a half-wave potential (E1/2) of 0.92 V, and a lower overpotential of 320 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 for OER under alkaline condition. The remarkable electrocatalysis performance can be attributed to the hierarchically porous carbon nanospheres with S doping and high content of Fe-Nx sites (up to 3.7 wt% of Fe), resulting from the nano-confinement effect of the hierarchically porous silica spheres (NKM-5) during the pyrolysis process. The rechargeable Zn-air battery with FeNx/NC-S as a cathode catalyst demonstrated a superior power density of 194.5 mW cm-2 charge-discharge stability. This work highlights a new avenue to design advanced SACs for efficient sustainable energy storage and conversion.
