Tuning Carbon Defect in Copper Single-Atom Catalysts for Efficient Oxygen Reduction
© 2023 Wiley-VCH GmbH..
Defect chemistry in carbon matrix shows great potential for promoting the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) of metal single-atom catalysts. Herein, a modified pyrolysis strategy is proposed to tune carbon defects in copper single-atom catalysts (Cu-SACs) to fully understand their positive effect on the ORR activity. The optimized Cu-SACs with controllable carbon defect degree and enhanced active specific surface area can exhibit improved ORR activity with a half-wave potential of 0.897 VRHE , ultrahigh limiting current density of 6.5 mA cm-2 , and superior turnover frequency of 2.23 e site-1 s-1 . The assembled Zn-air batteries based on Cu-SACs can also show well-retained reversibility and voltage platform over 1100 h charge/discharge period. Density functional theory calculations reveal that suitable carbon defects can redistribute charge density of Cu-N4 active sites to weaken the O-O bond in adsorbed OOH* intermediate and thus reduce its dissociation energy. This discovery offers a universal strategy for fabricating superior single-atom catalysts with high-efficiency active sites toward energy-directed applications.
