Sulfuration of an Fe–N–C Catalyst Containing FexC/Fe Species to Enhance the Catalysis of Oxygen Reduction in Acidic Media and for Use in Flexible Zn–Air Batteries
Abstract
During the preparation of atomically dispersed Fe–N–C catalysts, it is difficult to avoid the formation of iron‐carbide‐containing iron clusters (“FexC/Fe”), along with the desired carbon matrix containing dispersed FeNx sites. As a result, an uncertain amount of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) occurs, making it difficult to maximize the catalytic efficiency. Herein, sulfuration is used to boost the activity of FexC/Fe, forming an improved system, “FeNC–S–FexC/Fe”, for catalysis involving oxygen. Various spectroscopic techniques are used to define the composition of the active sites, which include Fe–S bonds at the interface of the now‐S‐doped carbon matrix and the FexC/Fe clusters. In addition to outstanding activity in basic media, FeNC–S–FexC/Fe exhibits improved ORR activity and durability in acidic media; its half‐wave potential of 0.821 V outperforms the commercial Pt/C catalyst (20%), and its activity does not decay even after 10 000 cycles. Interestingly, the catalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) simultaneously improves. Thus, FeNC–S–FexC/Fe can be used as a high‐performance bifunctional catalyst in Zn–air batteries. Theoretical calculations and control experiments show that the original FeNx active centers are enhanced by the FexC/Fe clusters and the Fe–S and C–S–C bonds.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
