(abstract)

In this study, we present the successful synthesis of cage-like cubic carbon catalysts enriched with pentagon structures using pentagon ring-containing C60 and a NaCl template. The number of pentagons contained in the structure was increased by doping with nitrogen and annealing, and the number of electron spins also increased, thereby improving catalytic activity. The prepared catalyst exhibits remarkable activity in ORR under acidic electrolytes. Furthermore, we elucidate the correlation between the pentagon structure, the number of spin electrons, and catalytic activity, demonstrating that enhanced activity is contingent upon the presence of spin electrons. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations support the role of spin electrons in improving activity. The concept of spin electrons and the introduction of pentagon structures provide new design principles for carbon catalysts.
