Abstract
- Metal‑nitrogen‑carbon materials (M-N-C) have attracted much attention due to their low cost, high abundance, and efficient catalytic performance. Nevertheless, Fe-N-C materials are considered the most promising oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts for replacing noble metals. Ce is chemically active and has many metal valence states, and empty orbitals that can participate in coordination. On this basis, Fe, Ce-codoped catalyst was constructed in this study. The synergistic effect of the dual metal centers was verified, and a Fe, Ce-codoped nitrogen-doped carbon (FeCeNC) with six equal branch angles was proposed. The half-wave potential for the ORR catalyzed by FeCeNC is 0.855 V. As a rechargeable Zn-air battery cathode catalyst, FeCeNC exhibits excellent electrochemical performances, with an open-circuit voltage of 1.427 V, a maximum power density of 169.2 mW cm−2 and a stable cycling time of 80 h, demonstrating an excellent cycle performance.
