Abstract:
Atomic metal catalysis (AMC) provides an effective way to enhance activity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Cobalt anchored on nitrogen-doped carbon materials have been extensively reported. The carbon-hosted Co-N4 structure was widely considered as the active site; however, it is very rare to investigate the activity of Co partially coordinated with N, for example, Co-N4−xCx. Herein, the activity of Co-N4−xCx with tunable coordination environment is investigated as the active sites for ORR catalysis. The defect (di-vacancies) on carbon is essential for the formation of Co-N4−xCx. N species play two important roles in promoting the intrinsic activity of atomic metal catalyst: N coordinated with Co to manipulate the reactivity by modification of electronic distribution and N helped to trap more Co to increase the number of active sites. © 2020 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
