Apically Co-nanoparticles-wrapped nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes from a single-source MOF for efficient oxygen reduction

Abstract

Bamboo-like N-doped carbon nanotubes wrapping Co nanoparticles (Co@BNCNTs) derived from a single precursor Co-MOF exhibited remarkable ORR electrocatalytic performance with long-term durability, due to the synergetic interaction between the NCNTs and Co nanoparticles.
