Disclosed in the present invention are a
biomass-derived graded porous asymmetric coordination monatomic carbon-based
electrocatalyst, and a preparation method therefor and the use thereof. The preparation method for the
biomass-derived graded porous asymmetric coordination monatomic carbon-based
electrocatalyst comprises the following steps: (1) stirring and mixing de-alkalized
lignin with a
transition metal salt, a
nitrogen-containing compound and a template, i.e.,
magnesium oxide, in a
solvent until uniform, so as to obtain a suspension, wherein the
transition metal comprises iron and
zinc; (2) heating, evaporating and
drying off the suspension, so as to obtain a
lignin /
metal ion /
nitrogen-containing compound / template mixed precursor; and (3) subjecting the mixed precursor to high-temperature
pyrolysis under the protection of an
inert gas, cooling same, and then sequentially washing and
drying same, so as to obtain a monatomic carbon-based
electrocatalyst. The monatomic carbon-based electrocatalyst provided in the present invention has graded pores of micropores, mesopores and macropores, a surface
nanosheet and an asymmetric coordination structure of Fe-N3O at the same time, and can be applied to
fuel cells and
metal-air cells.
