Graphitic nanocages prepared with optimized nitrogen-doped structures by pyrolyzing selective precursors towards highly efficient oxygen reduction

Iron-catalyzed graphitization for the synthesis of nanostructured graphitic carbons

“…231 A final point that is worth noting is that different nitrogen-containing precursors can lead to different types of nitrogen feature in the resulting graphitic carbon, which suggests that the precursor can affect the mechanism of graphitization. 232…”

Layer-by-layer anodes with an orientation-arranged structure induced by magnetic field for high-performance lithium ion batteries

“…Hence, such a layer-by-layer Fe 3 O 4 /CF alignment provides a novel method for advanced electrodes, which might be widely used in areas as supercapacitors, catalysis, adsorbents and fuel cells. [52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60]…”

The extent of carbon surface oxygen affinity and its effects on the activity of metal-free carbon catalysts in the oxygen reduction reaction: the interplay of porosity and N-, O- and S-enriched surface chemistry

“…19 In this group, carbon materials are considered as attractive candidates to replace Pt/C owing to their conductivity and the possibility of modifying their electronic structure by the introduction of heteroatoms into a carbon matrix. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] The modifications, with a special emphasis on nitrogen [20][21][22][23]31 provide basic sites to a carbon surface, which attract oxygen and then contribute to its reduction either to OH À or H 2 O, depending on the conditions. In a recent review by Cazorla-Amoros and co-workers, not only has the role of nitrogen species (such as pyridines and quaternary nitrogen) introduced to the carbon matrix been emphasized but also that of nitrogen-oxygen configurations such as pyridones.…”
