Developing high efficiency and low cost electrocatalysts is critical for the enhancement of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), which is the fundamental for the development and commercialization of renewable energy conversion technology. Herein, zinc-nitrogen-carbon (Zn-N-C) was prepared by using biomass resource chitosan via a facile carbon bath method. The obtained Zn-N-C delivered a high specific surface area (794.7 cm² /g) together with pore volume (0.49 cm³ /g). During the electrochemical evaluation of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), Zn-N-C displayed high activity for ORR with an onset potential E₀=0.96 V_RHE and a half wave potential E_1/2=0.86 V_RHE, which were more positive than those of the commercial 20 wt% Pt/C benchmark catalyst (E₀=0.96 V_RHE and E_1/2=0.81 V_RHE). In addition, the ZnN-C catalyst also had a better stability and methanol tolerance than those of the Pt/C catalyst.
