Abstract

In this work, we develop an in situ biomass-confined approach to fabricate an atomically dispersed Fe/NC catalyst for ORR. The acquired Fe/NC demonstrates glorious oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity (E_1/2: 0.858 V) in alkaline media and long-term cycling stability (∼750 h) in a homemade liquid zinc-air battery.
