TL;DR: Molten-salt-assisted chemical vapour deposition is used to synthesize a wide variety of two-dimensional transition-metal chalcogenides and elaborate how the salt decreases the melting point of the reactants and facilitates the formation of intermediate products, increasing the overall reaction rate.

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: In this paper, the P/S co-doping strategy facilitates the pore size widening both in micropore and mesopore regions, together with the positive effect on the degree of graphitization of porous carbon through elimination of amorphous carbon through the formation and evaporation of carbon disulfide.
