Facile synthesis of mesoporous Fe-N-C electrocatalyst for high performance alkaline aluminum-air battery

An advanced and facile cathode catalyst of mesoporous Fe-N-C for aluminum-air battery is synthesized by calcining the mixture of Super P, melamine and ferric chloride. The catalyst exhibits a high discharge voltage of 1.33 V at the current density of 50 mA cm− 2, which is better than commercial Pt/C catalyst.167
