Inside Back Cover: Nitrogen‐Doped Nanoporous Graphenic Carbon: An Efficient Conducting Support for O₂ Cathode (ChemNanoMat 7/2016)

The metallothermic reduction of gaseous CO2 is energetic enough to break down N2 molecules, and thus results in N-doping in the formation of nanoporous graphenic carbon. The N-doped nanoporous carbon comprises both a highly porous graphenic and non-graphitic matrix and a “doped” phase of homogeneously dispersed ordered graphitic nanodomains, which constitutes a very unique composite carbon structure. The resulting porous carbon with a high surface area and a high conductivity exhibits more favorable reactivity as a carbon conducting support in the O2 cathode of Li-O2 batteries.
