abstract = {Fe–N–C single-atom catalysts usually exhibit poor ORR
activity due to their unsatisfactory O2 adsorption and
activation. Here, a new design idea and tailored
self-assembly synthesis method are reported to improve their
ORR performance. DFT calculations indicate that the ORR
electrocatalytic activity of Fe–N–C single-atom
catalysts with an axial structure is superior to that of
Fe–N–C single-atom catalysts with a Fe–N4 active site.
In order to experimentally demonstrate the difference,
Fe–N–C single-atom catalysts with a Fe–N5 active site
were successfully synthesized on the surface of monolayer
graphene. XANES, SEM, HRTEM, XRD, Raman and XPS analyses
indicate that the synthesized Fe–N–C catalyst possessed
nanofibre morphology and a curved layer-like crystal
structure. For comparison, FePc powder was used as the
FePc(Fe–N4) catalyst as its molecular structure involves a
Fe–N4 active site embedded in carbon six-membered rings.
The current density of the synthesized Fe–N5/C@G catalyst
at a potential of 0.88 V vs. RHE is 1.65 mA cm−2, which is
much higher than that of the FePc(Fe–N4) catalyst (1.04 mA
cm−2) and even higher than that of commercial Pt/C
catalyst (1.54 mA cm−2). The results are very well
consistent with the DFT calculations, verifying the
dependability and accuracy of DFT calculations. This work
reports a new synthetic idea to obtain better performance
and proposes a formation mechanism to explain the process of
the synthesis method.},
