An Fe-N co-doped tube-in-tube carbon nanostructure is synthesized for an efficient oxygen reduction reaction. Thanks to its hollow nature, the mesoporous structure is enriched while defects are not prominent, allowing excellent activity (E  = 0.851 V) and durability together with methanol tolerance in an electrochemistry test under alkaline conditions. Furthermore, when the material is used as the cathode catalyst of a Zn-air battery, the battery exhibits a peak power density of 181.5 mW cm.

Fe single-atom and Fe cluster-coupled N, S co-doped carbon nanomaterials (Fe-FeO-NSC) were prepared through a two-step high-temperature pyrolysis process using Gelidium corneum enriched with C, Fe, O, N, and S as precursors. The analysis by aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy revealed the presence of single-atom Fe in Fe-N coordination structures, along with small clusters as Fe-O-coordinated FeO. Single-atom Fe in the form of Fe/Fe provides more electrocatalytic active sites, which synergistically accelerates the charge migration process in the assembly of Fe-FeO-NSC with FeO clusters.

A lignin-based Fe/N co-doped carbonaceous catalyst was synthesized via freeze-drying followed by pyrolysis to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for efficient degradation of bisphenol A (BPA). The Fe/N co-doped biochar exhibited a high specific surface area (364.84 m/g), hierarchical porous structures, and abundant oxygen-containing functional groups (hydroxyl and carboxyl groups), which enhancing the dispersion of FeO nanoparticle and exposure of catalytic site.

In this paper, we prepared a new type of iron and nitrogen co-doped porous carbon material (WSC-Fe/N) using a carbonization-activation process with wheat straw as a precursor and FeCl and NHCl as co-doping agents and analyzed the electrochemical properties of the resulting electrode material. Through precise control of the doping elements and carbonization temperature (900 °C), the resulting WSC-Fe/N-900 material exhibits abundant micropores, uniform mesopores, a significant specific surface area (2576.6 m g), an optimal level of iron doping (1.

Atomically dispersed iron and nitrogen co-doped carbon materials (Fe-N-C) represent promising non-precious metal catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), offering potential alternatives to noble metal-based benchmarks. In our study, we investigated the influence of phosphorus doping on the catalytic activity of Fe-N-C. The experimental research demonstrate that the doping of phosphorus significantly enhances the ORR activity.
