The application provides a Sn-doped Fe-N-C catalyst, a preparation method and application thereof. The catalyst comprises a carrier and Sn atoms and Fe atoms supported on the carrier, and the carrier is an N-doped carbon material. The application dopes the p-block metal Sn with stronger electronegativity into the Fe-N-C catalyst, forms an electron-withdrawing environment around the FeN4 site, reduces the electronegativity of the FeN4 site, and weakens the adsorption strength of the FeN4 site on the oxygen reduction intermediate. Meanwhile, the metal Sn is weaker in reactivity with hydrogen peroxide produced by the reaction of oxygen via a two-electron process than Fe, reduces the concentration of free radicals produced by the reaction, improves the stability of the carrier and active sites, and can effectively prevent the shedding of Fe. The application uses the catalyst as a cathode catalyst of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell, is low in cost, and can simultaneously meet the requirements of high catalytic activity and good stability.
