N-Doped holey carbon materials derived from a metal-free macrocycle cucurbit[6]uril assembly as an efficient electrocatalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction

Abstract

The first example of the preparation of nitrogen-doped holey carbon (NHC) with abundant in-plane holes derived from a rigid macrocycle cucurbit[6]uril self-assembly is reported. The NHC shows comparable activity, better stability and higher methanol tolerance towards the oxygen reduction reaction compared to the use of commercial Pt/C.
