Transforming chitosan into N-doped graphitic carbon electrocatalysts.
Chitosan, the only alkaline polysaccharide in nature with rich nitrogen content, is used as the sole precursor to obtain N-doped graphitic carbon-based ORR electrocatalysts. The findings of this work demonstrate that cheap, plentiful and renewable biomasses can be transformed into high value functional carbon materials.
متن کاملNitrogen self-doped porous carbon from surplus sludge as metal-free electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reactions.
Nitrogen self-doped porous carbon was prepared by calcination treatment of surplus sludge, a toxic byproduct from microbial wastewater treatments, and exhibited a mesoporous structure, as manifested in scanning and transmission electron microscopic measurements. Nitrogen adsorption/desorption studies showed that the porous carbon featured a BET surface area as high as 310.8 m(2)/g and a rather ...
متن کاملOxygen Reduction Electrocatalysts Based on Coupled Iron Nitride Nanoparticles with Nitrogen-Doped Carbon
Aimed at developing a highly active and stable non-precious metal electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), a novel FexNy/NC nanocomposite—that is composed of highly dispersed iron nitride nanoparticles supported on nitrogen-doped carbon (NC)—was prepared by pyrolyzing carbon black with an iron-containing precursor in an NH3 atmosphere. The influence of the various synthetic paramete...
متن کاملN-doped porous carbon capsules with tunable porosity for high-performance supercapacitors
A procedure for the fabrication of N-doped hollow carbon spheres with a high rate capability for supercapacitors has been developed. The approach is based on a nanocasting method and the use of a nitrogen-rich compound (pyrrole) as carbon precursor. The carbon particles thus produced combine a large BET surface area (~1500 m g) with a porosity made up of mesopores of ~ 4 nm and a high nitrogen ...
متن کاملFree-standing nitrogen-doped carbon nanofiber films as highly efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction.
Free-standing nitrogen-doped carbon nanofiber (NCNF) films based on polyacrylonitrile (PAN) were prepared simply by the combination of electrospinning and thermal treatment. We reused the nitrogen-rich gas generated as the byproduct of PAN at elevated temperature, mainly NH3, for surface etching and nitrogen doping. The as-obtained NCNFs exhibited a rougher surface and smaller diameter than pri...
