abstract = {We developed a strategy based on coordination polymer to synthesize singleatom site Fe/N and S-codoped hierarchical porous carbon (Fe1/N, S-PC). The as-obtained Fe1/N, S-PC exhibited superior oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance with a half-wave potential (E1/2, 0.904 V vs. RHE) that was better than that of commercial Pt/C (E1/2, 0.86 V vs. RHE), single-atom site Fe/N-doped hierarchical porous carbon (Fe1/N-PC) without S-doped (E1/2, 0.85 V vs. RHE), and many other nonprecious metal catalysts in alkaline medium. Moreover, the Fe1/N, S-PC revealed high methanol tolerance and firm stability. The excellent electrocatalytic activity of Fe1/N, S-PC is attributed to the synergistic effects from the atomically dispersed porphyrin-like Fe-N4 active sites, the heteroatom codoping (N and S), and the hierarchical porous structure in the carbon materials. The calculation based on density functional theory further indicates that the catalytic performance of Fe1/N, S-PC is better than that of Fe1/N-PC owing to the sulfur doping that yielded different rate-determining steps.}
