摘要	Although the carbon-supported single-atom (SA) electrocatalysts (SAECs) have emerged as a new form of highly efficient oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysts, the preferable sites of carbon support for anchoring SAs are somewhat elusive. Here, a KOH activation approach is reported to create abundant defects/vacancies on the porous graphitic carbon nanosphere (CNS) with selective adsorption capability toward transition-metal (TM) ions and innovatively utilize the created defects/vacancies to controllably anchor TM-SAs on the activated CNS via TM-N-x coordination bonds. The synthesized TM-based SAECs (TM-SAs@N-CNS, TM: Cu, Fe, Co, and Ni) possess superior ORR electrocatalytic activities. The Cu-SAs@N-CNS demonstrates excellent ORR and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) bifunctional electrocatalytic activities and is successfully applied as a highly efficient air cathode material for the Zn-air battery. Importantly, it is proposed and validated that the N-terminated vacancies on graphitic carbons are the preferable sites to anchor Cu-SAs via a Cu-(N-C-2)(3)(N-C) coordination configuration with an excellent promotional effect toward ORR. This synthetic approach exemplifies the expediency of suitable defects/vacancies creation for the fabrication of high-performance TM-based SAECs, which can be implemented for the synthesis of other carbon-supported SAECs.
