Abstract
Abstract Atomically dispersed FeNC materials have emerged as the promising catalysts for replacing precious Pt‐based catalysts in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, their widespread application remains limited by sluggish kinetics and the long‐term stability of the isolated Fe single‐atom sites. Herein, we report a highly active and durable catalyst (FeSnNC) featuring d‐block iron and p‐block‐metal tin dual‐atom pair sites. In situ infrared spectroscopy and X‐ray absorption spectroscopy, together with ab initio molecular dynamics and density functional theory calculations reveal that the Fe─Sn dual‐atom pair sites enable the bridge absorption of O 2 and facilitate direct O─O bond cleavage. The…
