Based on first principles density functional theory calculations we explored energetics of oxygen reduction reaction over pristine and nitrogen-doped graphene with different amounts of nitrogen doping. The process of oxygen reduction requires one more step than the same reaction catalyzed by metals. Results of calculations evidence that for the case of light doped graphene (about 4% of nitrogen...

Catalytic substrate, which is devoid of expensive noble metals and enzymes for hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), reduction reactions can be obtained via nitrogen doping of graphite. Here, we report a facile fabrication method for obtaining such nitrogen doped graphitized carbon using polyacrylonitrile (PAN) mats and its use in H₂O₂ sensing. A high degree of graphitization was obtained with a mechanical...

Aqueous Energy-Storage Devices In article number 2201481, Chunlei Wang, Qichong Zhang, Qingwen Li, and co-workers develop an in-situ nitrogen doping strategy to fabricate nitrogen-doped vanadium dioxide/nitrogen-doped carbon heterostructures by pyrolyzation of the oxide/polypyrrole. The well-designed fiber electrode delivers impressive electrochemical performance extraordinary flexibility, both...

Shell-core nanostructured carbon materials with a nitrogen-doped graphitic layer as a shell and pristine carbon black particle as a core were synthesized by carbonizing the hybrid materials containing in situ polymerized aniline onto carbon black. In an N-doped carbon layer, the nitrogen atoms substitute carbon atoms at the edge and interior of the graphene structure to form pyridinic N and qua...

There is a huge interest in doped graphene and how doping can tune the material properties for the specific application. It was recently demonstrated that the effect of doping can have different influence on the electrochemical detection of electroactive probes, depending on the analysed probe, on the structural characteristics of the graphene materials and on the type and amount of heteroatom ...

Here we report a high efficiency photocatalyst, i.e., Mn(2+)-doped and N-decorated ZnO nanofibers (NFs) enriched with vacancy defects, fabricated via electrospinning and a subsequent controlled annealing process. This nanocatalyst exhibits excellent visible-light photocatalytic activity and an apparent quantum efficiency up to 12.77%, which is 50 times higher than that of pure ZnO. It also demo...

The propagation of wave packets in a monolayer graphene containing a random distribution of dopant atoms has been explored. The time-dependent, two-dimensional Weyl-Dirac equation was solved numerically to propagate an initial Gaussian-type wave front and to investigate how the set of impurities influences its motion. It has been observed that the charge transport in doped graphene differs from...

Nitrogen-doped ordered porous carbon was synthesized by microwave heating using Fe3O4 nanoparticles as hard templates. The microwave-assisted method reduces the reaction time and provides highly structure with large surface area nitrogen doping. NaAlH4 confined into pores of scaffold hydrogen sorption kinetics is improved synergistic effects nanoconfinement

nowadays, doping is an intricate dilemma for athletes. wrestling is the domestic, national and popular sport in iran. meanwhile, the prevalence of drug abuse in wrestling is high due to its power-demanding nature. so, we decided to evaluate the knowledge of club wrestlers of tehran about doping and their estimates of current prevalence in the country. in a cross sectional study, 426 wrestlers w...

A series of Mn-Co/TiO2 catalysts were prepared by wet impregnation method and evaluated for the oxidation of NO to NO2. The effects of Co amounts and calcination temperature on NO oxidation were investigated in detail. The catalytic oxidation ability in the temperature range of 403–473 K was obviously improved by doping cobalt into Mn/TiO2. These samples were characterized by nitrogen adsorptio...
