An efficient chemical synthesis route, with an aim of reaching an ultrahigh nitrogen (N)‐doping level in carbon materials can provide a platform where the type and amount of N dopant can be tuned over a wide range. We propose a C‐S‐C linkage‐triggered confined‐pyrolysis strategy for the high‐efficiency in situ N‐doping into carbon matrix and an ultrahigh doping level up to 13.5 at %, which is close to the theoretical upper limit (15.2 at %) is realized at a high carbonization temperature of 1000 °C. The pyridinic N is dominant with a maximum percent of 48.7 %. By using I3− reduction as an example, the resultant NCM‐5 exhibits the best activity with a power conversion efficiency of 8.77 %. A pyridinic N site‐dependent activity is demonstrated in which the amount of active sites increases with the increase of pyridinic N, and the carbon atom adjacent to electron‐withdrawing pyridinic N at the armchair edge acts as the most favorable site for the adsorption of I2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
