Carbon‐Based, Metal‐Free Electrocatalysts for Renewable Energy Technologies

With the over-consumption of traditional fossil resources and increasing energy demand, major concerns have been raised over the security of our energy future. Developing sustainable, fossil-free pathways to optimize the traditional energy system is urgently needed. To dissolve this problem, tremendous progress have been made and carbon-based metal-free catalysts have been demonstrated to be effective for an increasing number of catalytic processes. In this chapter, recent important developments of the carbon based, metal-free materials for highly performance electrode materials were systematically introduced.
