Oxygen Reduction by Nitrogen-doped Graphite

Caption

Patterning nitrogen-doped graphite to create many edges also increases the amount of pyridinic nitrogen present. Carbon atoms adjacent to pyridinic nitrogen behave as the active site for oxygen reduction, which is a key process in fuel cell technologies.
