Topic: Heteroatom-doped Carbon
Materials for Energy-relevant Electrocatalytic Processes
Abstract:
We have successfully
designed and developed a series of high performance carbon-based
electrocatalysts for various key energy conversion reactions in water splitting
and fuel cells. We also provided clear evidence that, similar to precious
metals, the well-designed metal-free counterparts have also a great potential
for highly efficient electrocatalysis, thus opening a new avenue towards
replacing noble metals by broader alternatives in a wide variety of
applications.
