Problems solved by technology

However, there are various synthesis methods for Fe / N-C catalysts, such as direct pyrolysis of macrocyclic iron compounds and organometallic framework complexes. This method has high synthesis efficiency and stable structure, but due to its precursor Fe / N coordination structure And the ratio has been fixed, the control of the content of effective iron is relatively rigid
It is also possible to use the one-pot pyrolysis method of small molecular iron compounds and nitrogen-containing compounds. This method has a wide range of sources of precursor materials, and the structure design is more flexible and diverse, which can increase the loading of effective iron. However, there are many variables in the experimental conditions and many adjustments. Factor process is complex and time-consuming

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of energy materials, and in particular relates to a carbon-based non-noble metal oxygen reduction catalyst and a preparation method thereof, and also relates to the electrocatalytic application of the catalyst in the oxygen reduction reaction of a fuel cell cathode. Background technique [0002] With the rapid consumption of traditional fossil fuels, it becomes more urgent to explore clean and renewable energy technologies to solve the problems of energy shortage and environmental pollution. Among all energy storage and conversion systems, fuel cells are known as "green energy for the 21st century" due to their advantages such as high energy density, light weight, abundant material sources, and no pollution. The anode of the fuel cell mainly undergoes the oxidation reaction of hydrogen (H 2 →2H + +2e - ,HOR), the reaction is relatively simple, is a fast kinetic process; the cathode mainly occurs the reduction react...
