Abstrakt: Single-atom transition metal-based nitrogen-doped carbon (M-N x -C) is regarded as high-efficiency and cost-effectiveness alternatives to replace noble metal catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in renewable energy storage and conversion devices. In this work, rich FeCo dual-single atoms were efficiently entrapped into N-doped carbon nanocages (FeCo DSAs-NCCs) by simple pyrolysis of the bimetallic precursors doped zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), as affirmed by a series of characterizations. The graphitization degree of the N-doping carbon substrate was regulated by modulating the pyrolysis temperature and the types of the metal salts. The typical catalyst substantially improved the alkaline ORR performance, with the onset potential (E onset ) of 0.99 V (vs. RHE) and half-wave potential (E 1/2 ) of 0.88 V (vs. RHE). Ultimately, the catalyst-assembled Zn-air battery possessed a higher open-circuit voltage of 1.501 V, larger power density of 123.7 mW cm -2 , and outstanding durability for 150 h. This study provides a guide on developing ORR catalysts for electrochemical energy conversion and storage technology.
