Designing highly efficient and low-cost electrocatalysts is of great importance in the fields of energy conversion and storage. We report on the facile synthesis of a single atom (SA) iron catalyst via the pyrolysis of a functionalized mesophase pitch. Monomers of naphthalene and indole underwent polymerization in the presence of iron chloride, which afterwards served as the pore-forming agent and iron source for the resulting catalyst. The SA-Fe@NC catalyst has a well-defined atomic dispersion of iron atoms coordinated by N-ligands in the porous carbon matrix, exhibiting excellent oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity (E1/2 = 0.89 V) that outperforms the commercial Pt/C catalyst (E1/2 = 0.84 V). Moreover, it shows better long-term stability than the Pt/C catalyst in alkaline media. This facile strategy could be employed in versatile fossil feedstock and develop promising non-platinum group metal ORR catalysts for fuel cell technologies. |
