Abstract

Abstract Metal-free carbon-based catalysts have gained much attention during last years because of their interesting properties towards oxygen reduction reaction. Intrinsic parameters of carbon materials such as porosity, structural order, conductivity and defects have proved to have a strong influence in the catalytic activity of these materials. However, the highest differences in catalytic activity are obtained via doping with heteroatoms, being nitrogen the most remarkable in terms of activity and selectivity. One of the most challenging goals of the scientific community is to unravel the role of the functional groups in order to design an optimized material. However, the complexity of isolating one specific functionality, the difficult unambiguous characterization of the species and the influence of the intrinsic properties of the carbon materials, make the identification of the active sites a complex and controversial issue. This review presents a critical assessment about the role of heteroatoms on ORR from the analysis of the literature that combine both experimental work and computational modelling.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
