Synthesis process

Caption

Porous carbon nanosheet synthesis process. An MOF is first exfoliated into nanosheets (left), which are then carbonized to form porous carbon nanosheets (middle). Catalytic sites on the nanosheet can be chemically modified (right) to regulate its oxygen reduction reaction activities under acidic conditions—a useful process when the nanosheets are used as electrocatalytic materials.
