Abstract:
Single metal site catalysts are the most promising candidates to replace platinum-group-metal (PGM) catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), yet insufficient performance and scalable preparation approaches remain great challenges. Here, we report a nitrogen (N)/sulfur (S) codoped single Fe site catalyst (Fe-N/S-C) through a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) strategy. Using the cyclopentadiene-shielded Fe atom ferrocene (Fc) as the precursor, atomically dispersed single Fe sites were successfully embedded into the N, S codoped 2D carbon nanosheets. The superior catalytic activity for the ORR in alkaline media is stemmed from the N, S codoping, tuning the optimal charge distribution of Fe sites. In addition, the CVD approach could surpress the formation of iron-carbide-containing iron clusters ("FexC/Fe"), thereby leading to high surface areas and porosity. Furthermore, the Fe-N/S-C catalyst was further studied as a cathode catalyst in direct methanol fuel cells showing encouraging performance.
