Electrocatalysis: Strongly Coupled 3D Hybrids of N-doped Porous Carbon Nanosheet/CoNi Alloy-Encapsulated Carbon Nanotubes for Enhanced Electrocatalysis (Small 44/2015).

A novel 3D hybrid electrocatalyst consisting of N-doped CoNi alloy-encapsulated carbon nanotubes (CoNi-NCNT)/N-doped porous carbon nanosheets (NPCNs) is obtained on page 5940 by X. L. Feng, J. H. Chen, and co-workers. The hybrid exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activities for the oxygen reduction and evolution reactions with good stability. The enhanced performance is correlated with the unique morphology and defect structures, high porosity, good conductive networks, and strongly interacting CoNi-NCNT and NPCNs.
