Abstract

A family of cheap carbon black based Fe–Nx/C electrocatalysts with superhigh-performance for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) were synthesized. The one with Fe 10 wt% and N 1.57 wt% shows the best performance. The activity order of different active sites for ORR was revealed firstly: Fe–N4/2–C > Fe4–N–C > N–C ≫ Fe4–C ≈ C.
