This project aims to create novel metal-free carbon-based catalysts to replace the scarce and expensive noble metal catalysts. Noble metal catalysts are needed for clean production of electricity by fuel cells or hydrogen peroxide from hydrogen and oxygen gases. A combined theoretical and experimental approach will be developed for controlled synthesis of heteroatom-doped carbon catalysts and to improve our understanding of the catalytic mechanism and structure-activity relationship for the novel carbon catalysts. The project is expected to lay fundamental groundwork for a new paradigm in carbon-based catalysts that should be of considerable significance for energy and chemical production in a clean and cost effective way.

该项目旨在创造新型无金属碳基催化剂来替代稀缺且昂贵的贵金属催化剂。燃料电池或从氢气和氧气中产生过氧化氢需要贵金属催化剂。我们将开发一种结合理论和实验的方法来控制合成杂原子掺杂的碳催化剂，并提高我们对新型碳催化剂的催化机理和构效关系的理解。该项目预计将为碳基催化剂的新范例奠定基础，这对于清洁且具有成本效益的能源和化学品生产具有重要意义。
