Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A highly effective ORR catalyst with a sophisticated multi-level porous structure is successfully crafted utilizing Mn2+ coordinated to 4,4'-bipyridine as the precursor and SBA-15 as the mesoporous template. The catalyst demonstrates exceptional ORR performance in a 0.1 M KOH solution, achieving a half-wave potential of 0.91 V, which surpasses the performance of other recently reported Mn-based catalysts and ranks among the most active non-precious carbon-based ORR catalysts known. Furthermore, the catalyst exhibits remarkable resistance to methanol poisoning and maintains stable operation for an impressive duration of 20,000 seconds without experiencing significant performance decline. Notably, during catalysis, the catalyst's selectivity for the four-electron transfer pathway is close to 100%, with peroxide yield lower than 5%. When functioning as the catalyst for the air electrode of a zinc-air battery, it exhibits a peak power density and specific capacity of 205.9 mW cm-2 and 813.8 mAh g-1Zn, respectively. The outstanding performance and durability of this catalyst make it well-suited for practical applications and commercial use. We also contend that the approach presented here can be readily adapted to the rational design and fabrication of ORR catalysts, which are characterized by both high activity and stability, thereby contributing to eco-friendly and forward-thinking energy technologies.
