Iron-based catalysts have demonstrated fascinating activities in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), especially due to the synergistic effect between atoms and clusters, but challenging for further improvement. Herein, a strategy is developed to optimize the catalyst with nitrogen-coordinated Fe si...
