Nitrogen-coordinated metal single atoms in carbon have aroused extensive interest recently
and have been growing as an active research frontier in a wide range of key renewable
energy reactions and devices. Herein, a step-by-step self-assembly strategy is developed to
allocate nickel (Ni) and iron (Fe) single atoms respectively on the inner and outer walls
of graphene hollow nanospheres (GHSs), realizing separate-sided different single-atom
functionalization of hollow graphene. The Ni or Fe single atom is demonstrated to be
coordinated with four N atoms via the formation of a Ni-N(4)or Fe-N(4)planar configuration.
The developed Ni-N-4/GHSs/Fe-N(4)Janus material exhibits excellent bifunctional
electrocatalytic performance, in which the outer Fe-N(4)clusters dominantly contribute to
high activity toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), while the inner Ni-N(4)clusters
are responsible for excellent activity toward the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Density
functional theory calculations demonstrate the structures and reactivities of Fe-N(4)and
Ni-N(4)for the ORR and OER. The Ni-N-4/GHSs/Fe-N(4)endows a rechargeable Zn-air battery
with excellent energy efficiency and cycling stability as an air-cathode, outperforming
that of the benchmark Pt/C+RuO(2)air-cathode. The current work paves a new avenue for
precise control of single-atom sites on carbon surface for the high-performance and
selective electrocatalysts.
