A facile synthesis of Fe3C@mesoporous carbon nitride nanospheres with superior electrocatalytic activity

Abstract

We report a colloidal amphiphile-templating approach to preparing nanosized Fe3C encapsulated within mesoporous nitrogen-doped carbon nanospheres (Fe3C@mCN). The obtained Fe3C@mCN hybrids having a high surface area and ultrafine Fe3C nanocrystals exhibited superior activity and durability for oxygen reduction.
