“…76,78 Indeed, it is suggested that the ratio between pyridinic nitrogen and quarternary nitrogen can be modified by carbonization temperature, while the general considerations given above are still valid: It is practically impossible to include more than 7% of quarternary nitrogen into a structure. 80 This tunable chemical structure of doped nitrogen of Il/PILs-delivered NdCs leads also to different chemical properties, especially different catalytic activity.…”

“…At the same time, a selective two-electron mechanism could be addressed by a NdC catalyst synthesized from 3-methyl-N-butylpyridinum-dca (3MBP-dca) after carbonization at 800°C. 80 These two reports are suggesting that the choice of IL-precursors, addition of preorganized nitrogen-sources, such as nucleobases, and carbonization temperature tunes the chemical structure and patterns of nitrogen atoms in the graphitic network and modifies the electrocatalytic properties. The origin of high catalytic activity of NdCs is still unknown, but the first groundbreaking papers have started to shed light onto some of the relevant descriptors.…”

In this account, the emergence of a new family of porous solid-state materials based on carbon and nitrogen is discussed. This started with the observation that carbon nitride, a polymeric material with a composition close to C 3 N 4 , is not only unexpectedly thermally and chemically stable, but a semiconductor at the same time and able to catalyze a variety of chemical reactions, such as DielsAlder cyclizations, oxidations, and photochemical water splitting. Carbon nitride is however already sufficiently reviewed but related materials with similar potential have essentially been not sufficiently covered. The remaining structures are manifold and cover the range from on the one hand covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) as new semiconducting porous solid-state materials to the other porous nitrogen-doped carbons (NdCs) as catalysts which are known to be applicable in a variety of electrocatalytic reactions. CTFs are porous polymeric frameworks constituted of triazine rings and other aromatic rings. Chemical binding motifs and crystal structures can be used to control the band structure of such an (organic) solid-state material. Porous NdCs are usually made by adding nitrogen sources to classical carbonization recipes, and they are attracting a lot of interest because of their catalytic activity for electrochemical processes, such as oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). This account will summarize state-ofthe-art work on those systems being next-generation catalysts for different kinds of reactions, which are affordable and high-performance catalysts with unique principle for emergence of catalytic activities, combining theoretical and experimental studies together with basic and applied science in a range of scientific fields from chemistry to physics. Indeed, the first exploration of the above materials as candidates for components of fuel cells and rechargeable metalair batteries are discussed.

“…This method is predominantly used in the fabrication of highly ordered structures such as nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes and nanofibers. Another strategy for the inclusion of nitrogen heteroatom is the use of a post-treatment method where nitrogen containing agents react with carbon materials to create various nitrogen-doping types, including pyridinic, pyrrolic, and graphitic nitrogen (Hao et al, 2010;Geng et al, 2011;Fellinger et al, 2012). Typically, this approach is generally conducted with ammonia gas under elevated temperature or with ammonium hydroxide in solvothermal process.…”

Li-S batteries have been considered as next generation Li batteries because of their hightheoretical energy density. Over the past few years, researchers have made significant efforts in breaking through critical bottlenecks, which impede the commercialization of Li-S batteries. Beginning with a basic introduction to Li-S systems and their associated mechanism, this review will highlight the application of one specific carbon family, nitrogen-doped carbon materials in sulfur-based cathodes. These materials will include nitrogen-doped porous carbon, carbon nanotubes, nanofibers, and graphene. The article will conclude with a summary of recent research efforts in this field as well as the future prospects for the use of nitrogen-doped carbon materials in Li-S batteries.

“…The four-electron reduction pathway to form H 2 O releases a relatively large free energy (1.23 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE)) and is an important reaction for fuel cell applications. The two-electron reduction pathway to form H 2 O 2 at a lower potential (0.7 V vs. RHE) is also an important reaction with regard to the electrochemical synthesis of H 2 O 2 [1][2][3]. For both reaction pathways, non-precious metal (NPM) catalysts are desired, considering the cost and scarcity of precious metals.…”

Nitrogen-containing aromatic polymers such as polyimide are known for their high thermal stability. While they have been widely used in industry, their relevance to catalysis is still quite limited. In recent years, nitrogen-containing polymers have been explored as precursors of nitrogen-doped carbonaceous materials, which are particularly attractive as non-precious metal catalysts for oxygen reduction in fuel cells. The high thermal stability of nitrogen-containing polymers contributes to an effective control over the morphology of the resulting carbonaceous catalysts. This review article provides an overview of the recent progress on the research and development of Fe/N/C oxygen reduction catalysts prepared from morphology-controlled nitrogen-containing polymers.
