Impeding high temperature sintering is challengeable for synthesis of carbon-supported single-atom catalysts (C-SACs),which requires high-cost precursor and strictly-controlled procedures.Herein,by virtue of the ultrastrong polarity of salt melts,sintering of metal atoms is effectively suppressed.Meanwhile,doping with inorganic sulfur anions not only produces sufficient anchoring sites to achieve high loading of atomically dispersed Co up to 13.85 wt.%,but also enables their electronic and geometric structures to be well tuned.When served as a cathode catalyst in dye-sensitized solar cells,the C-SAC with Co-N4-S2 moieties exhibits high activity towards the iodide reduction reaction (IRR),achieving a higher power conversion efficiency than that of conventional Pt counterpart.Density function theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the superior IRR activity was ascribed to the unique structure of Co-N4-S2 moieties with lower reaction barriers and moderate binding energy of iodine on the Co center,which was beneficial to I2 dissociation.
