Regulating the electronic states of single atomic sites around Fermi level remains a major concern for boosting electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Herein, Fe d-orbital splitting manner modulation strategy by constructing axial coordination on FeN4 is presented. Experimental investigations and theoretical calculations reveal that tractions induce distortion square-planar field (FeN4 SP), up to quasi-octahedral O1 OCquasi ), thus leading electron rearrangement with diluted...
Abstract Fe–N–C catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) has been considered as the most promising nonprecious metal due to its comparable catalytic performance Pt in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The active centers of Fe–pyrrolic N 4 have proven be extremely ORR. However, forming a stable structure is huge challenge. Here, Cyan‐Fe–N–C with intrinsic center constructed help axial Fe C atomic clusters, which shows half‐wave potential up 0.836 V (vs. RHE) acid environment....

Abstract Atomically dispersed metal‐nitrogen‐carbon (M‐N‐C) catalysts have exhibited encouraging oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity. Nevertheless, the insufficient long‐term stability remains a widespread concern owing to inevitable 2‐electron byproducts, H 2 O . Here, we construct Co‐N‐Cr cross‐interfacial electron bridges (CIEBs) via interfacial electronic coupling between Cr 3 and Co‐N‐C, breaking activity‐stability trade‐off. The partially occupied 3d‐orbitals of CIEBs induce...
