Energy Conversion: Fe@N‐Graphene Nanoplatelet‐Embedded Carbon Nanofibers as Efficient Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Reduction Reaction (Adv. Sci. 1/2016)

An activated carbon nanofiber (CNF) is prepared with incorporated Fe–N-doped graphene nanoplatelets (Fe@NGnPs), via a novel and simple synthesis approach by J.-B. Baek, G. Kim, and co-workers in article number 1500205. The Fe@NGnPs are randomly dispersed on the surface of the CNF. The CNF–Fe@NGnP catalysts exhibit substantially improved activity for the oxygen reduction reaction compared to commercial catalysts.
