The development of efficient single-atom catalysts(SACs)for the oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)remains a formidable challenge,primarily due to the symmetric charge distribution of metal single-atom sites(M-N4).To address such issue,herein,Fe-Nx sites coupled synergistic catalysts fabrication strategy is presented to break the uniform electronic distribution,thus enhancing the intrinsic catalytic activity.Precisely,atomically dispersed Fe-Nx sites supported on N/S-doped mesoporous carbon(NSC)coupled with FeS@C core-shell nanoparticles(FAS-NSC@950)is synthesized by a facile hydrothermal reaction and subsequent pyrolysis.Due to the presence of an in situ-grown conductive graphitic layer(shell),the FeS nanoparticles(core)effectively adjust the electronic structure of single-atom Fe sites and facilitate the ORR kinetics via short/long-range coupling interactions.Consequently,FAS-NSC@950 displays a more positive half-wave potential(E1/2)of 0.871 V with a significantly boosted ORR kinetics(Tafel slope=52.2 mV dec-1),outpacing the commercial Pt/C(E1/2=0.84 V and Tafel slope=54.6 mV dec-1).As a bifunctional electrocatalyst,it displays a smaller bifunctional activity parameter(△E)of 0.673 V,surpassing the Pt/C-RuO2 combination(△E=0.724 V).Besides,the FAS-NSC@950-based zinc-air battery(ZAB)displays superior power density,specific capacity,and long-term cycling performance to the Pt/C-Ir/C-based ZAB.This work significantly contributes to the field by offering a promising strat-egy to enhance the catalytic activity of SACs for ORR,with potential implications for energy conversion and storage technologies.
