? 2021 Elsevier Inc.Development of carbon-based oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts with performance superior to noble metals across a wide pH range has been a formidable challenge. Herein, porous hollow carbon spheres co-doped with N, P (NH3-NPCS-900) is directly synthesized from the herbal residues of Lasiosphaera seu Calvatia (LSC). Critically, the N content was significantly enhanced in the presence of ammonia (NH3) and formed a hierarchical porous structure and a large specific surface area (984.7 m2 g?1). With the synergistic effect of these contributions, the NH3-NPCS-900 catalyst exhibit excellent ORR catalytic activity across acidic (E1/2 = 0.615 V) and alkaline solutions (E1/2 = 0.862 V). Zn-air batteries with NH3-NPCS-900 exhibit high peak power density (188 mW cm?2) and better cycle durability (>180 h), showing its potential and promise in applications. This study provides valuable direction and insight into how to develop porous carbon with highly efficient ORR catalytic activity from biomass.
