The mixture was calcined by vapor deposition under nitrogen or inert gas. The calcined product was ground, acid-washed, filtered, dried, and then calcined a second time to obtain a nitrogen-doped porous carbon-supported iron-selenium transition metal composite material. The molar ratio of the transition metal iron compound to the selenium compound was (0.1-5):(0.1-6); the molar ratio of the transition metal iron compound to the magnesium-zinc NC precursor was (0.01-1):(0.1-5).

[0009] This invention employs a template-based synthesis strategy to form a transition metal single-atom catalyst supported on porous doped carbon materials. Specifically, this invention develops an electrocatalyst containing Fe single-atom doped Se particles on N-doped porous carbon. Due to the synergistic effect between the Fe and Se particles, charge redistribution can be regulated, and the electronic structure and microenvironment optimized, effectively reducing adsorption energy and synergistically improving catalytic activity, significantly promoting the oxygen reduction reaction.

Then rinse and filter with deionized water to remove soluble salt ions. Acid wash with 0.5 mol / L sulfuric acid for 12 h. Then filter with deionized water. After filtration, dry in an oven at 70 °C for 12 h. Grind the dried sample for 30 min and calcine it again in a tube furnace at 900 °C for 2 h under a nitrogen atmosphere with a heating rate of 5 °C / min to obtain the magnesium-zinc NC precursor.

[0016] The drying is carried out in an oven at a temperature of 20–100°C, preferably 75°C.

[0017] The calcination temperature is 600–1100℃, and the time is 0.5–3 hours.

[0018] The secondary calcination temperature is 900℃ and the time is 2 hours.

[0022] The present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0023] (1) This invention provides a method for preparing a nitrogen-doped porous carbon-supported iron-selenium transition metal composite material. This method uses a template synthesis strategy to prepare an electrocatalyst containing Fe single-atom-doped Se particles on N-doped porous carbon. This catalyst innovatively introduces Se atoms into the Fe single-atom catalyst, with the components uniformly distributed on the nitrogen-doped carbon-based material. The introduction of Se allows for pd orbital hybridization to regulate the electronic structure and microenvironment of the Fe sites, thereby optimizing the adsorption / desorption behavior between the active sites and intermediates during the ORR process. This not only ensures efficient catalyst utilization but also significantly enhances catalytic efficiency and promotes the oxygen reduction reaction through the synergistic effect between the iron-selenium particles.
