چکیده
Monodispersive carbon spheres with a high percentage of purity have been synthesized using a mixed-valent oxide-catalytic carbonization (MVOCC) process. In this paper, the chemical activities of the carbon spheres are examined by dispersing Pt, CdS and WO, nanoparticles, respectively, on the carbon surfaces from the microstructure information provided by transmission electron microscopy. The spheres are composed of graphitic flakes with high density open edges at the surfaces, thus, they are a good candidate for catalysis applications. Keyrvordxc Carbon sphere: Pt; CdS; WO,; Graphitic flake

Template-free synthesis of porous graphitic carbon nitride/carbon composite spheres for electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction.
Porous graphitic carbon nitride/carbon composite spheres were synthesized using melamine and cyanuric acid, and glucose as the carbon nitride and carbon precursor, respectively. The 3D hierarchical composites efficiently catalyzed the oxygen reduction reaction with an onset potential of 0.90 V and a kinetic current density of 23.92 mA cm(-2). These merit their promising applications in fuel cel...
