“…Interestingly, as shown in Table 1, the calculation shows, on pristine C surface, the distance between adsorbed O 2 and pristine C was about 2.8 Å and the D OeO was 1.238 Å, with the Wiberg Bond Index (WBI, which reflects the strength of covalent OeO bond) value of 1.856 and adsorption energy (E ad ) 1.485 eV, all indicating very weak interaction between adsorbed O 2 and pristine C surface or weak electrocatalytic activity of pristine C for ORR [33,34]. While the single doping of Fe 4 or N on carbon can enhance the ORR activity indicated by the decreased D OeC , WBI and E ad or the increased D OeO as shown in Table 1, confirming the observation shown in Fig.…”
