Advanced and Stable Metal-Free Electrocatalyst for Energy Storage and Conversion: The Structure-Effect Relationship of Heteroatoms in Carbon.

ABSTRACT: Ever-developing energy device technologies require the exploration of advanced materials with multiple functions. Heteroatom-doped carbon has been attracting attention as an advanced electrocatalyst for zinc-air fuel cell applications. However, the efficient use of heteroatoms and the identification of active sites are still worth investigating. Herein, a tridoped carbon is designed in this work with multiple porosities and high specific surface area (980 m^-2 g^-1). The synergistic effects of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and oxygen (O) in micromesoporous carbon on oxygen reduction reaction (ORR)/oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysis are first investigated comprehensively. Metal-free N-, P-, and O-codoped micromesoporous carbon (NPO-MC) exhibits attractive catalyti
