Graphite materials are widely used as electrode materials for electrochemical energy storage. N-doping is an effective method for enhancing the electrochemical properties of graphite. A novel one-step N-doping method for complete and compact carbon paper was proposed for molten salt electrolysis in the LiCl-KCl-Li3N system. The results show that th...

In this communication, we report a biomass-derived nitrogen-doped porous carbon (named as NC-800) as an electrocatalyst for the ambient conversion of N2 to NH3. The catalyst NC-800 was prepared from naturally renewable and easily available bamboo shoots, with inherently an approximate 8 wt % of N-containing components, such as the N source, in a co...

Metals and metal oxides are widely used as photo/electro-catalysts for environmental remediation. However, there are many issues related to these metal-based catalysts for practical applications, such as high cost and detrimental environmental impact due to metal leaching. Carbon-based catalysts have the potential to overcome these limitations. In ...

Nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbons (N-MCs) are promising materials for electrochemical sensors or biosensors. However, facile and effective methods for the preparation of N-MCs for electrochemical detection of dopamine (DA) are required. A molten-glucose-assisted hard-template approach has been developed to synthesize N-MC materials by in situ intro...

Boosting electrochemical sodium storage properties is achieved by utilizing functionalized N-doped carbon nanotube arrays (NCNAs) as anode materials. The NCNA anodes are first fabricated by self-polymerization of dopamine on cobalt hydroxide nanorod arrays as the template. The NCNAs with diameters of 100-120 nm are grown vertically to Ni foam, form...

Rational design and synthesis of Fe-N-codoped carbon materials are promising for replacing commercial Pt/C for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Herein, we develop a simple two-step pyrolysis approach to synthesize highly active Fe-N-codoped graphene-like carbon sheets (FeNGC) with active Fe-N-based species for ORR. In this strategy, two-dimensional...
