Honeycomb-like porous carbon with N and S dual-doping as metal-free catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction

It has been a major challenge to dispose the unrenewable high-performance polymers (HPPs) after their large-scale application in our society. Here we report an approach to reuse one kind of HPP as carbon and sulfur sources in synthesizing nitrogen and sulfur dual-doped honeycomb-like porous carbon catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction. Briefly, poly(phenylene sulfide sulfone) with S atoms in polymer chain as sulfur source, dicyandiamide as...
