Facile synthesis of N/M/O (M= Fe, Co, Ni) doped carbons for oxygen evolution catalysis in acid solution

A facile salt (LiNO3) - activation synthesis of N/M/O (M=Fe, Co, Ni) doped carbons catalysts for use in the highly oxidizing OER reaction environment (low pH solution), using readily accessible starting materials such as citric acid (CA), metal acetate, cyanamide (CM) as the carbon, metal and nitrogen precursors.509
