Scalable and Cost‐Effective Synthesis of Highly Efficient Fe₂N‐Based Oxygen Reduction Catalyst Derived from Seaweed Biomass

Abstract

A simple and scalable synthesis of a 3D Fe2N-based nanoaerogel is reported with superior oxygen reduction reaction activity from waste seaweed biomass, addressed the growing energy scarcity. The merits are due to the synergistic effect of the 3D porous hybrid aerogel support with excellent electrical conductivity, convenient mass transport and O2 adsorption, and core/shell structured Fe2N/N-doped amorphous carbon nanoparticles.
