Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="toc"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <graphic position="anchor" id="ga" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj4166g6d" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" />Si-doped and Si, N-codoped carbon nanomaterials exhibited much higher electrocatalytic activity and longer-term stability for the oxygen reduction reaction than non-doped carbon nanomaterials, due to the changes in net charges and the energy characteristics of the Si-containing carbon framework and the adsorption mode of oxygen.</p> </abstract>
