Selectively nitrogen-doped carbon materials as superior metal-free catalysts for oxygen reduction

Selectively nitrogen-doped carbon materials as superior metal-free catalysts for oxygen reductionSelectively nitrogen-doped carbon materials as superior metal-free catalysts for oxygen reduction, Published online: 23 August 2018; doi:10.1038/s41467-018-05878-yDoping carbon-based materials with nitrogen is effective for enhancing catalytic activity for oxygen reduction; however, directing nitrogen dopants to specific locations is difficult. Here the authors employ hydrogen-substituted graphdiyne as a matrix for nitrogen doping, leading to enhanced performance.
