Fullerenes interact positively with many metal-based catalysts intense electron transfer. Yet, we here revealed that C serves as a probe due to its deactivation of the active sites of single-atom O reduction electrocatalysts. C adsorption to metal atoms creates steric hindrance that restricts the access of O to the active sites.
