Abstract
A straightforward, energy- and atom-saving process to the production of tailored N-doped and catalytically active metal-free carbon nanostructures, has been set up. Our ex situ approach to the N-decoration of the carbon nanotube sidewalls contributes to elucidate the complex structure–reactivity relationship of N-doped carbon nanomaterials in oxygen reduction reactions, providing fundamental insights on the nature of the N-active sites as well as on the role of neighboring carbons.
