TL;DR: The experimental results are believed to be significant because they not only give further insight into the ORR mechanism of these metal-free doped carbon materials, but also open a way to fabricate other new low-cost NPMCs with high electrocatalytic activity by a simple, economical, and scalable approach for real FC applications.

TL;DR: Iodine-doped graphene has been successfully fabricated through a simple, economical, and scalable approach and can exhibit a high catalytic activity, long-term stability, and an excellent methanol tolerance for the oxygen reduction reaction.

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between thermodynamic properties of the precursory carbon source and the formation of aligned CNTs was investigated. But only n-heptane can yield the aligned carbon nanotubes with relatively high quality, high yield and narrow diameter distribution.

TL;DR: The robust selectivities, sensitivities, and stabilities determined experimentally indicated the great potential of NiNPs/SMWNTs nanohybrids for construction of a variety of electrochemical sensors.

TL;DR: X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results suggest that the electron transfer, from the CNTs to the Mn ions occurs and the high positive charge is generated on the MnOx-CNT surface, believed to be origin of the catalytic activity observed in the ORR using MnOx -CNTs.
