Abstract:
The carbon spheres synthesized by pyrolysis of resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) semiconducting resins exhibit enhanced activity for electrocatalytic oxygen reduction. The spheres consist of narrow reticulated carbon layers, which are derived from the donor-acceptor π-stacking interaction of the resins, and show high electron conductivity.
