Description
Summary:Electrochemical catalyst is the most important core of these electrochemical devices. The challenge is to control configuration of active sites for tuning their performance. Therefore, the objective of this project is to develop new heteroatoms doped carbon based electrocatalysts for ORR, OER and HER via the heteroatom doping enginerring through a new precursor modulation method and to understand fundamentally the effect of heteroatom configuration on the electrocatalytic activity.
