Unlocking the Electrocatalytic Activity of Chemically Inert Amorphous Carbon–Nitrogen for Oxygen Reduction: Discerning and Refactoring the Chaotic Bonds

Abstract

The front cover artwork is provided by Prof. Wei Zhang and Cai Zhang from Jilin University (Changchun, China). The image shows that heat treatment can govern the bonding states and unlock the ORR activity for nitrogen-doped amorphous carbon, which is an analogy to the beauty of the stained-glass windows of Sagrada Família Basílica (Barcelona, Spain) revealed by the sunlight streaming through the windows.
