Micelles of Mesoporous Silica with Inserted Iron Complexes as a Platform for Constructing Efficient Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Reduction

Iron, N-codoped carbon materials (Fe-N-C) are promising electrocatalysts toward oxygen reduction reactions due to their high atom utilization efficiency and intrinsic activity. Nanostructuring of the Fe-N-C materials, such as introducing porosity into the carbon structure, would be conducive to further increasing the exposure of active sites as well as improving the mass transfer. Herein, we explore the potential of iron complex-functionalized...
