| Abstract | Electrocatalytic oxygen reduction via a two-electron pathway (2e--ORR) is a promising and eco-friendly route for producing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Single-atom catalysts (SACs) typically show excellent selectivity towards 2e--ORR due to their unique electronic structures and geometrical configurations. The very low density of single-atom active centers, however, often leads to unsatisfactory H2O2 yield rate, significantly inhibiting their practical feasibility. Addressing this, we herein introduce fluorine as a sec-ondary doping element into conventional SACs, which does not directly coordinate with the single -atom metal centers but synergize with them in a remote manner. This strategy effectively activates the surrounding carbon atoms and converts them into highly active sites for 2e--ORR. Consequently, a record-high H2O2 yield rate up to 27 mol g-1 h-1 has been achieved on the Mo-F-C catalyst, with high Faradaic efficiency of 90%. Density functional theory calculations further confirm the very kinetically facile 2e--ORR over these additional active sites and the superiority of Mo as the single-atom center to others. This strategy thus not only provides a high-performance electrocatalyst for 2e--ORR but also should shed light on new strategies to significantly increase the active centers number of SACs.(c) 2022 Science Press and Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
