ABSTRACT
Constructing multiheteroatom coordination structure in carbonaceous substrates demonstrates an effective method to accelerate the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) of supported single-atom catalyst. Herein, the novel etching route assisted by potassium thiocyanate (KCNS) is developed to convert metal-organic framework to 2D defect-rich porous N,S-co-doped carbon nanosheets for anchoring atomically dispersed iron sites as the high-performance ORR catalysts (Fe-SACs). The well-designed KCNS-assisted etching route can generate spatial confinement template to direct the carbon nanosheet formation, etching condition to form defect-rich structure, and additional sulfur atoms to coordinate iron species. Spectral and microscopy analysis reveals that the iron element in Fe-SACs is highly isolated on carbon nanosheet and anchored by nitrogen and sulfur atoms in unsymmetrical Fe-S1N3 structure. The optimized Fe-SACs with large specific surface area could show remarkable alkaline ORR performances with a high half-wave potential of 0.920 V versus RHE and excellent durability. The rechargeable zinc-air battery assembled with Fe-SACs air electrodes delivers a large power density of 350 mW cm-2 and a stable voltage platform during charge and discharge over more than 1300 h. This work proposes a novel strategy for the preparation of single-atom catalysts with multiheteroatom coordination structure and highly exposed active sites for efficient ORR.
