Optimization of pH-universal O2 reduction electrocatalysis by precise control over structural variables via basic bathing

Chuangchuang Yang et al.

Summary: Biomass-based catalysts show promise as alternatives to Pt for ORR, but optimization requires tuning structural variables, enhancing mass transport, and achieving pH-universal catalytic activities. The 'basic bathing' method allows precise control over the structure of nitrogen-doped metal-free ORR electrocatalysts, leading to improved performance and pH-universal catalytic activity. Results indicate the importance of mesopores and nitrogen species distributions in enhancing pH-universal ORR performance.
