A salt induced gelatin crosslinking strategy to prepare Fe-N doped aligned porous carbon for efficient oxygen reduction reaction catalysts and high-performance supercapacitors

The preparation of low-cost, high-efficiency and stable oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts is highly anticipated but remains a challenge. Herein, a novel strategy of CaCl2 solution inducing gelatin crosslinking and acting as aligned pore template was put forward for preparation of Fe-N doped aligned hierarchical porous carbon. Furthermore, the microtopography and length of aligned pore can be controlled by adding NaCl solution. The...
