摘要：

FeN4 moieties embedded in partially graphitized carbon are the most efficient platinum group metal free active sites for the oxygen reduction reaction in acidic proton-exchange membrane fuel cells. However, their formation mechanisms have remained elusive for decades because the Fe-N bond formation process always convolutes with uncontrolled carbonization and nitrogen doping during high-temperature treatment. Here, we elucidate the FeN4 site formation mechanisms through hosting Fe ions into a nitrogen-doped carbon followed by a controlled thermal activation. Among the studied hosts, the ZIF-8-derived nitrogen-doped carbon is an ideal model with well-defined nitrogen doping and porosity. This approach is able to deconvolute Fe-N bond formation from complex carbonization and nitrogen doping, which correlates Fe-N bond properties with the activity and stability of FeN4 sites as a function of the thermal activation temperature.
