Porous carbon materials doped with atomically dispersed metal sites (ADMSs) are promising electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysis. In this work, we fabricated hierarchical porous nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers with atomically dispersed Fe-N₄ sites by carbonization of electrospinning iron-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)/polyacrylonitrile nanofibers for ORR electrocatalysis. Remarkably, the resultant carbon nanofibers with atomically dispersed Fe-N₄ sites exhibit extraordinary electrochemical performance with an onset potential of 0.994 V and a halfwave potential of 0.876 V in alkaline electrolyte, comparable to the benchmark commercial Pt/C catalyst. The high catalytic performance is originated from the unique hierarchically porous 1D carbon structure and abundant highly active atomically dispersed Fe-N₄ sites.
