TL;DR: In this article, the textural properties and surface chemistry of KOH-activated carbons depend on not only the synthesis parameters, but also different carbon sources employed including fossil/biomass-derived materials, synthetic organic polymers, and various nanostructured carbons (e.g. carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, carbon aerogels, carbide-derived carbons, graphene, etc.).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the up-to-date progress in the studies of carbon materials, and emphasized on the combination of experiment and theory to clarify the underlying mechanisms of these materials.

TL;DR: The one-step synthesis of uniform, ultrafine molybdenum carbide nanoparticles (NPs) within a carbon matrix from inexpensive starting materials makes the catalyst one of the most active acid-stable electrocatalysts ever reported for HER.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of KOH dosage on the morphology, structure and electrochemical performance (supercapacitor and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR)) was studied in detail, and the optimized ANPC-3, synthesized under the KOH/carbon mass ratio of 3/1, possesses high specific surface area of 1749m 2 ǫg −1, developed hierarchical micro-mesoporous structures as well as moderate nitrogen content (1.37

TL;DR: It is shown that nanoparticulate zirconium nitride (ZrN) can replace and even surpass Pt as a catalyst for ORR in alkaline environments and is shown to deliver a greater power density and cyclability than Pt/C in a zinc–air battery.
