Exploring remarkable oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysts for regenerative fuel cells and metal-air batteries is highly essential. Herein, a novel non-noble metal-based heterogeneous electrocatalyst with rich defects were successfully synthesized by liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation (LLIP) of fullerene (C₆₀) and ferrotetraphenylporphyrin (FeTPP) followed by one step pyrolysis. The obtained product annealed at 700 ℃ (C₆₀/FeTPP-700), when employed as ORR electrocatalyst, revealed a positive half-wave potential (E_1/2) of 0.877 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), which was superior to that of the commercial 25% Pt/C. Delightfully, the assembled Zn-air battery (ZAB) using C₆₀/FeTPP-700 as an air-electrode catalyst exhibited a high power density of 153 mW/cm², specific capacity of 668 mAh/g and long-term cycling stability for more than 250 h. Experimental results proved that the excellent electrocatalytic ORR activity of C₆₀/FeTPP-700 would attribute to the synergistic effect between FeN_x sites, Fe₃C/Fe nanoparticles and the structure defects. This work provides a feasible and simple method to prepare non-noble metal-based ORR electrocatalysts for the application of energy storage and conversion.

To balance energy demand and environmental pollution phenomenon, the research and use of new energy has become the global spotlight [1-3]. Up to now, in order to produce highly efficient, clean and sustainable energy, the electrochemical energy storage and conversion technologies have been widely explored, such as fuel cells [4,5] and metal-air batteries [6-8]. Notably, Zn-air battery (ZAB) becomes a safe and promising battery system because of its low cost, abundance of Zn and mild reaction conditions. In addition, the theoretical specific energy density (1086 Wh/kg) of ZAB is 2.5 times higher than that of lithium-ion battery [9]. Unfortunately, the development of ZAB still is full of challenges, e.g., the sluggish kinetics of cathodic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) restricts the performance and further application of these devices [10,11]. Thus, it is very essential to synthesize highly active and durable electrocatalysts for speeding up the ORR kinetics process. Noble metal species, in especial Pt-based materials, have been used as the most effective electrocatalyst for ORR [12]. However, their prohibitive cost and sensitivity to poisoning impede their extensive applications in practical life. Hence, it is of practical importance to pursue non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts with high efficiency and low cost [13,14].

In the past several years, tremendous efforts have been devoted to developing non-noble mental-based electrocatalysts for ORR and Zn-air battery [15-17]. Particularly, M-N-C (M = transition metal) hybrid nanostructure generally were created by introducing non-noble metal species and nitrogen, which show superior ORR electrocatalytic activity [18,19], because N-doped carbon is more electronegative than carbon, redistributing the electrons of neighboring carbon and enhancing the adsorption and dissociation of oxygen molecules [20]. Metalloporphyrin, particularly ferrotetraphenylporphyrin (FeTPP) can directly be used as precursors of M-N-C structure because of their chemical structures [21-23]. Compared to other carbon materials, fullerene possess unique spherical molecular structure with all sp²-hybridized carbon atoms and conjugated systems. Although C₆₀ has been widely studied for biomedical and optoelectronic applications, few C₆₀-based functional ORR electrocatalyst has been reported [24]. Gao et al. synthesized a class of new metal-free C₆₀-SWCNT electrocatalyst that fullerene (C₆₀) was adsorbed onto single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) as an electron-acceptor to induce intermolecular charge-transfer with the SWCNTs [25]. Combination of metalloporphyrin and fullerene via charge-transfer interactions seems ideal for a highly efficient conversion [26-28]. Notably, the research of defective carbon engineering has attracted wide attention, there are three universal kinds of defective carbon electrocatalysts, such as defective carbons modified by heteroatoms, creating the intrinsic defective carbons by physical or chemical way and inducing/coordinating defective carbons by atomic metal [29,30]. In addition, carbon materials with rich defects can accelerate the electron transfer and oxygen diffusion [31,32], and expose more active sites [33,34]. The defects not only improve surrounding electronic structure, but also trap metal atoms to from new coordination structures [35]. However, generation of defects still is an uncontrollable process in the carbon-based electrocatalysts [36] and the defect-related sites has yet not been fully made clear in the design of electrocatalysts.

In this study, we reported a defect-rich Fe-N-C hybrid system containing Fe₃C/Fe nanoparticles obtained by one-step pyrolysis of the fullerene/FeTPP self-assembly. The synthesized C₆₀/FeTPP-700 catalyst exhibited outstanding ORR activity in alkaline media with a high half-wave potential of 0.877 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) and robust stability than commercial 25% Pt/C. The ZAB assembled by C₆₀/FeTPP-700 catalyst as cathode output a power density of 153 mW/cm² and specific capacity of 668 mAh/g, comparable to the benchmark 25% Pt/C + IrO₂ based ZAB. Experimental results indicated that the favorable electrocatalytic ORR activity of C₆₀/FeTPP-700 would attribute to the synergistic effect between FeN_x sites, Fe₃C/Fe nanoparticles and the structure defects. The present work may provide a new platform for fullerene nanomaterial in application of energy storage and conversion.

The catalyst product was prepared through the self-assembly of C₆₀ and FeTPP as the metal and nitrogen source using liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation (LLIP) method. It has been established that fullerene molecule could interact with metalloporphyrin via π-π interaction to form a sandwich structure [37,38], as illustrated in Scheme S1 (Supporting information). Composition analysis of the C₆₀/FeTPP (Figs. S1 and S2 in Supporting information) suggested that the metalloporphyrin was successfully synthesized. After pyrolysis under H₂/Ar atmosphere, the metal moieties coordinated with nitrogen atoms was reduced to M-N-C species. The morphology of the product was characterized by SEM and TEM measurement. As shown in Fig. 1a and Fig. S3 (Supporting information), C₆₀/FeTPP-700 possessed a metal-based core enwrapped by carbon layer, similar to C₆₀/FeTPP-600 and C₆₀/FeTPP-800 (Figs. S4 and S5 in Supporting information). The high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) image (Fig. 1b) of C₆₀/FeTPP-700 clearly disclosed a hybrid phase. The crystal lattice spacing of 0.203 nm was assigned to the (101) plane of FeN_0.095, and the fringe spacing of 0.212 nm could be ascribed to the (121) facet of Fe₃C moiety. Notably, crystal defects such as edges and amorphous domains can be observed in the region between the two phases as marked by yellow dashed lines. The corresponding selected area electron diffraction (SAED) pattern displayed the (101) facets of FeN_0.095 and (121) and (211) facets of Fe₃C, further confirming the co-existence of FeN_x and Fe₃C, as shown in Fig. 1c. High-angle annular dark field (HAADF) TEM image and the corresponding element mapping (Fig. 1d) disclosed that the nanoparticles of FeN_x and Fe₃C were dispersed on the surface of carbon matrix.

The phase composition of the samples was then determined by XRD. As shown in Fig. 1e and Fig. S6 (Supporting information), all three samples of C₆₀/FeTPP-T (T = 600, 700 and 800 ℃) exhibited similar diffraction pattern, including the phase of FeN_x, Fe₃C and Fe with powder diffraction file (PDF) card number of 75-2143, 76-1877 and 87-0722, respectively. While the peak at around 26° for C₆₀/FeTPP-700 and C₆₀/FeTPP-800 were assigned to graphitic carbon, which was absent in the pattern of C₆₀/FeTPP-600 due to the lower annealing temperature, which was verified by the XRD result of the pure C₆₀ annealed at 600 ℃ under the same conditions (Fig. S7 in Supporting information). The characteristic (022) plane of Fe₃C (Fig. S8 in Supporting information) for C₆₀/FeTPP-700 was located at 44.76°, which was downshifted to 44.72° and 44.61° in the case of C₆₀/FeTPP-800 and C₆₀/FeTPP-600, respectively. Such lattice distortion would account for the defects observed in the TEM image. Notably, in the absence of C₆₀, the as-obtained FeTPP-700 exhibited a pure iron carbide without obvious defects (Figs. S9 and S10 in Supporting information), indicating that fullerene cage would facilitate the formation of structure defects. Besides, the Raman spectra display two broad peaks at around 1350 and 1578 cm⁻¹ (Fig. 1f), corresponding to the D-band and G-band of amorphous carbon, respectively [39-41]. The results revealed that the integrated area ratio of D band to G band (I_D/I_G) value of C₆₀/FeTPP-700 (1.312) is higher than those of C₆₀/FeTPP-600 (0.954) and C₆₀/FeTPP-800 (0.922), suggesting a more disordered carbon structure of C₆₀/FeTPP-700. Generally, it is true that introducing Fe can enhance the graphitization degree at higher temperature [42], hence the increased proportion of defect in C₆₀/FeTPP-700, which has a positive effect on the electrocatalytic performance [43], indicating that the fullerene cage played a critical role in tuning the nanostructure of the catalyst. In order to further examine the porosities in each catalyst, N₂ adsorption/desorption isotherms were recorded, from which BET surface areas and pore size distribution curves were calculated. As shown in Fig. S11 (Supporting information), all catalysts exhibited a type-Ⅳ isotherm with a similar mesoporous structure. The specific surface area was determined to be 62.8, 60.5 and 59.9 m²/g for C₆₀/FeTPP-600, C₆₀/FeTPP-700 and C₆₀/FeTPP-800, respectively. And the pore size of these catalysts distributed around 3.8 nm. The porous architecture of C₆₀/FeTPP-700 was supposed to facilitate the mass transport and promote the utilization of active site during ORR [16,44].

The Mössbauer spectra is a powerful tool to probe the intrinsic electronic structure [45]. In order to acquire the detail information about Fe species, the C₆₀/FeTPP-700 catalyst was further investigated with ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy at room temperature. As shown in Fig. 2a, it is notable that the curve of C₆₀/FeTPP-700 could be well fitted into one doublet (D) and two sextets (Sextet 1 and Sextet 2), corresponding to FeN_x, Fe and Fe₃C, respectively [46-48]. The fitting parameters are summarized in Table S1 (Supporting information). The typical isomer shift (IS) values of 0.12, −0.12 and 0.07 mm/s were ascribed to FeN_x, Fe, Fe₃C, respectively, matching well with the component of C₆₀/FeTPP-700 observed in the XRD and TEM results. To obtain more information about elemental composition and chemical states, the samples were subjected to XPS analysis. XPS survey spectra (Fig. S12 in Supporting information) showed obvious C 1s, N 1s, O 1s and Fe 2p signals for C₆₀/FeTPP-T, and no binding energy signals for other elements were detected. The N 1s spectrum of C₆₀/FeTPP-700 (Fig. 2b) could be deconvoluted into five peaks marked as pyridinic N (398.2 eV), Fe-N (399.1 eV), pyrrolic N (399.8 eV), graphitic N (400.5 eV) and oxidized N (401.7 eV), respectively [49]. Due to the electron-donating properties, the rational arranged pyridinic N can serve as metal-coordination sites, and enable to capture proton and O₂ molecule during the electrocatalytic ORR process [50]. Therefore, the high contents of pyridinic N in C₆₀/FeTPP-700 (Fig. S13 and Table S2 in Supporting information) might facilitate the ORR activity. In Fig. 2c, the high-resolution Fe 2p spectrum of C₆₀/FeTPP-700 was split into three couple peaks with a pair of satellite peaks, where the peaks centered at 710.0 and 723.0 eV were respectively assigned to 2p_3/2 and 2p_1/2 of Fe²⁺ corresponding to Fe-N bonding in FeN_0.095, and the peaks at around 717.6 and 733.2 eV were belonged to satellite [51]. The peaks located at 711.9 and 726.6 eV were ascribed to 2p_3/2 and 2p_1/2 of Fe³⁺corresponding to Fe-C bonding in Fe₃C [52], and the signal at around 707.4 and 720.3 eV can be attributed to zero-valence Fe [53]. These results are consistent with Mössbauer spectroscopy, the formation of Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺ may be caused by electron transfer and Fe tendency to lose extranuclear electrons. N has strong coordination ability and is easy to form Fe-N. The C 1s spectrum of C₆₀/FeTPP-700, as shown in Fig. 2d, could be deconvoluted into four peaks, which can be assigned to Fe-C (283.8 eV), C-C/C=C (284.6 eV), C-N (285.6 eV) and C=N (286.9 eV), respectively [18,41,54].

The ORR catalytic performance of C₆₀/FeTPP-700 was conducted in O₂-saturated 0.1 mol/L KOH using a standard three-electrode system equipped on a Pine instrument. Before test, the reference electrode was experimentally calibrated against RHE by CV scanning in the voltage of ORR in H₂-saturated 0.1 mol/L KOH with the scan rate of 10 mV/s (Fig. S14 in Supporting information). For comparison, C₆₀/FeTPP-600, C₆₀/FeTPP-800 and the commercial 25% Pt/C were also examined. Fig. S15 (Supporting information) displayed the CV curves of C₆₀/FeTPP-700, which showed obvious reduction peak in O₂-saturated 0.1 mol/L KOH solution, whereas no peak could be observed within the same potential region in the N₂-saturated solution, suggesting an effective ORR process on C₆₀/FeTPP-700 in alkaline media. The ORR activities of samples were further investigated by LSV polarization curves (Fig. 3a). It can be seen that C₆₀/FeTPP-700 exhibited a superior ORR activity with higher half-wave potential (E_1/2, 0.877 V vs. RHE) toward C₆₀/FeTPP-600 (0.797 V vs. RHE) and C₆₀/FeTPP-800 (0.827 V vs. RHE), even surpassed the commercial 25% Pt/C (0.852 V vs. RHE), and comparable to many recently-reported ORR electrocatalyst (Table S3 in Supporting information). The specific mass activity is displayed in Fig S16, specifically, the C₆₀/FeTPP-700 still exhibited superior ORR activity compared with 25% Pt/C. The reaction kinetics was then evaluated by the Tafel plot. As shown in Fig. 3b, the C₆₀/FeTPP-700 displayed the lower Tafel slop (74.84 mV/dec) compared with C₆₀/FeTPP-600 (92.45 mV/dec), C₆₀/FeTPP-800 (116.82 mV/dec) and the commercial 25% Pt/C (88.00 mV/dec). The kinetic current density (J_k) derived from the Tafel plot was compared as shown in Fig. 3c. The lowest Tafel slop and highest J_k demonstrated that C₆₀/FeTPP-700 possessed a much faster electrocatalytic reaction kinetics during the ORR process. To get insight to the active sites for ORR in C₆₀/FeTPP-700, supplementary experiments were performed by poisoning FeN_x sites with SCN⁻. It has been reported that there is a strong interaction between SCN⁻ ion and FeN_x site [55]. We obtained the LSV curves of C₆₀/FeTPP-700 in O₂-saturated 0.1 mol/L KOH with 0.01 mol/L SCN⁻ as displayed in Fig. 3d (blue line). The result implied that the current density of C₆₀/FeTPP-700 reduced significantly poisoned by SCN⁻. Subsequently, the another LSV curves of fresh C₆₀/FeTPP-700 after poisoning by 0.1 mol/L HCl in O₂-saturated 0.1 mol/L KOH was shown in Fig. 3d (magenta line), in which the current density negatively shifted compared with the value of the initial 0.1 mol/L KOH. Particularly, the shift of the LSV curve after poisoning by 0.1 mol/L HCl indicated that Fe₃C and Fe species in the hybrid C₆₀/FeTPP-700 catalyst would probably in part make a contribute to the ORR process. Moreover, when the fullerene was absent in C₆₀/FeTPP-700 (Fig. S17 in Supporting information), the ORR performance decreased remarkably, indicating that C₆₀ molecules also played a critical role in improving the ORR activity by tuning the defect in C₆₀/FeTPP-700. Therefore, the superior ORR activity of C₆₀/FeTPP-700 should be attributed to the synergetic effect of Fe-N-C species, Fe₃C and Fe nanoparticles and the structure defects.

Furthermore, the kinetic electron transfer numbers (n) of C₆₀/FeTPP-700 were evaluated based on K-L equation at various rotating speeds (Fig. 3e). The parallel K-L plots displayed a fine linear relationship between j⁻¹ and ω^−1/2 in the range of 0.4 V to 0.7 V, implying a first-order reaction kinetics. The value of n was calculated to be 3.98-4.02, implying a nearly 4e⁻ transfer pathway and direct electrocatalytic reduction of O₂ to OH⁻ species. The ultralow hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) yield (less than 3.0%) and the corresponding n value (about 4.0) obtained from the RRDE test (Fig. 3f) further confirmed a desirable 4e⁻ ORR pathway for C₆₀/FeTPP-700, much favorable than the commercial 25% Pt/C. The long-term stability was then measured by chronoamperometric method. As shown in Fig. 3g, C₆₀/FeTPP-700 exhibited excellent durability with a high current retention at 0.6 V after 28 h in O₂-saturated 0.1 mol/L KOH, quite superior to the commercial 25% Pt/C. The long-term stability of C₆₀/FeTPP-700 was further evaluated by accelerated CV test. The LSV curve is almost unchanged after 1000 cycles (Fig. S18 in Supporting information). Furthermore, the high-resolution Fe 2p spectrum (Fig. S19 in Supporting information) and the TEM image (Fig. S20 in Supporting information) of C₆₀/FeTPP-700 indicated that the morphology and chemical state of was C₆₀/FeTPP-700 kept stable after the stability test. In addition, Fig. 3h showed that negligible current decay was observed for C₆₀/FeTPP-700 with the injection of methanol into electrolyte, while 25% Pt/C catalyst suffered from a quick drop, suggesting a glorious tolerance of C₆₀/FeTPP-700 to methanol.

Encouraged by its outstanding ORR performance of C₆₀/FeTPP-700, a primary Zn-air battery using C₆₀/FeTPP-700 as the cathodic electrode was assembled. Meanwhile, precious metal catalyst 25% Pt/C was chosen as a reference. As shown in Fig. 4a, the ZAB of C₆₀/FeTPP-700 possesses an open circuit potential (OCP) about 1.4 V comparable to that of precious 25% Pt/C catalyst-based battery. Further, Fig. 4b disclosed that the specific capacity of C₆₀/FeTPP-700 based ZAB was calculated to be 668 mAh/g based on the mass loss of Zn foil at a current density of 20 mA/cm², close to that of the battery assembled by 25% Pt/C catalyst (705 mAh/g). The power density was then obtained from the discharging polarization curve as shown in Fig. 4c. the ZAB assembled using C₆₀/FeTPP-700 possessed a peak power density of 153 mW/cm² at 251 mA/cm², larger than that of the ZAB assembled using 25% Pt/C catalyst (133 mW/cm² at 220 mA/cm²). The performance of the present ZAB based on C₆₀/FeTPP-700 was comparable with many other related ZAB batteries reported recently (Table S4 in Supporting information). In practice, as shown in Fig. 4d, one C₆₀/FeTPP-700-based ZAB enabled to light up a LED screen for more than 24 h at room temperature. Besides, inspired by the oxygen evolution property of C₆₀/FeTPP-700 (Fig. S21 in Supporting information), a rechargeable ZAB based on C₆₀/FeTPP-700 was fabricated. As showed in Fig. 4e, the ZAB of C₆₀/FeTPP-700 displayed a significant stable discharge and charge potential at 2 mA/cm² over 250 h without obvious potential decay and the round-trip efficiency kept stable from 61.3% to 61.1% during the whole charging-discharging process. On the contrary, the ZAB of 25% Pt/C + IrO₂ catalyst appeared a wide charge-discharge gap after 100 h. Further, the robust durability of the ZAB of C₆₀/FeTPP-700 was further evidenced by galvanostatic charge-discharge at 5 and 10 mA/cm², respectively (Figs. 4f and g). After 10 h, the ZAB of C₆₀/FeTPP-700 still maintains a high voltage efficiency of 58.4% (5 mA/cm²) and 54.1% (10 mA/cm²).

In summary, a defect-rich hybrid catalyst containing Fe-N-C species and Fe₃C/Fe nanoparticles imbedded on the carbon matrix was successfully prepared, which was derived from the pyrolysis of a fullerene/FeTPP assembly. The C₆₀/FeTPP-700 exhibited efficient ORR performance with higher half-wave potential (0.877 V vs. RHE) superior to commercial 25% Pt/C and robust catalytic durability. The Zn-air battery assembled by C₆₀/FeTPP-700 as cathode displayed a peak power density of 153 mW/cm² and specific capacity of 668 mAh/g, which was comparable to the ZAB fabricated by 25% Pt/C and IrO₂. Besides, the rechargeable ZAB possessed a long-term cycling stability (more than 250 h) and high round-trip efficiency (>61%). It was found that the synergistic effect between the FeN_x sites, Fe₃C/Fe nanoparticles and the structure defects in C₆₀/FeTPP-700 would account for the superior ORR performance. This work provided a simple and effective technique to synthesize N-coordination carbon-based non-noble metal electrocatalyst for energy storage and conversion.
