Rational design of Fe and N co-doped carbon catalysts (Fe-NCs), one promising non-precious cathode catalyst, is critical to commercialization of proton exchange membrane fuel cells. The atomic Fe site density of Fe-NCs is critical to improve catalytic currents approaching industrial levels. One recent research proposes a template-guided strategy to break the limit of Fe site density, and greatly promotes the fuel cell performance.
