Fe\/Fe<sub>3<\/sub>N\/C catalyst exhibited a half-wave potential of 0.74 V <em>vs.<\/em> reversible hydrogen electrode in 0.5 M H<sub>2<\/sub>SO<sub>4<\/sub> with excellent stability over 100 h. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests showed that the charge transfer resistance was only 1.671 \u03a9 using this novel method, indicating that the cellulose-derived carbon in the core significantly enhanced the electron transport efficiency. Quantum mechanical calculations confirmed strong coordination interaction between the carbonyl groups in formamide and the hydroxyl groups in cellulose with Fe to form Fe\/Fe<sub>3<\/sub>N structure by carbonization. This study provides an effective renewable material solution for Proton exchange membrane fuel cells.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Results were published in Applied Surface
