Organic precursors for tailored synthesis of sulfur- and nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbons: a molecular design approach.

Insights into tailoring heteroatom-doped mesoporous carbon are provided for enhanced electrocatalytic properties. This study focuses on the design and synthesis of sulfur-doped mesoporous carbon using a sulfur-containing monomer with a chemical structure similar to dopamine. The resulting material achieves remarkable catalytic activity for the oxygen reduction reaction.
