The interaction between Ru NPs and N-doped GA improved the dispersion of Ru NPs and restrained the exfoliation of Ru-NCs during the electrochemical reaction.
“The interaction between Ru NPs and N-doped GA not only improved the dispersion of Ru NPs but also restrained the exfoliation of Ru-NCs during the electrochemical reaction [35].”
From Nitrogen-doped graphene aerogel-supported ruthenium nanocrystals for pH-universal hydrogen evolution reaction (2022) · cites this paper as [35]
The paper’s discussion of catalyst stability says that interactions between Ru nanoparticles and N-doped carbon can prevent nanoparticle detachment or agglomeration; it also links the carbon support’s pores to good Ru dispersion. The morphology section reports Ru nanoparticles distributed on a carbon skeleton. Neither passage identifies the support as N-doped GA or says that exfoliation of Ru-NCs was restrained during the electrochemical reaction. Page numbers are not available in our copy.

In the deconvoluted N 1s spectrum, three chemical states of N are observed: graphitic-N (401.0 eV), pyrrolic-N (399.7 eV), and pyridinic-N (398.0 eV).
“In the deconvoluted N 1 s spectrum (Fig. 3(c)), three chemical states of N are observed: graphitic-N (401.0 eV), pyrrolic-N (399.7 eV), and pyridinic-N (398.0 eV) [33,35,36].”
From Nitrogen-doped graphene aerogel-supported ruthenium nanocrystals for pH-universal hydrogen evolution reaction (2022) · cites this paper as [35]
Section 3.1 identifies the same three N 1s chemical states and assigns them to peaks in the Ru@NC(1:5) spectrum. Its reported binding energies are 400.9 eV for graphitic N, 399.5 eV for pyrrolic N, and 398.4 eV for pyridinic N—not the exact values in the citing sentence. (LLM, conf=0.88)

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.
