“…Since then, heteroatom dopants, such as N,9, 12, 13 B,14, 15 P,16, 17 and S,18, 19, 20 have been widely incorporated into nanocarbon materials to improve their electrocatalytic activities. The inherent differences in the electronegativity and atomic size between carbon and these heteroatoms could modify the inherent electronic structures of nanocarbon materials, thereby creating new catalytic sites and facilitating the chemisorption/desorption of intermediates and thus enhancing the catalytic activities 9, 13, 14, 17, 21, 22. In addition to heteroatom dopants, the intrinsic carbon defects, such as topological (pentagonal, heptagonal, etc.)…”
