Growing Tungsten Nanophases on Carbon Spheres Doped with Nitrogen. Behaviour as Electro-Catalysts for Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Growing Tungsten Nanophases on Carbon Spheres Doped with Nitrogen. Behaviour as Electro-Catalysts for Oxygen Reduction Reaction

This work shows the preparation of carbon nanospheres with a high superficial nitrogen content (7 wt.%), obtained by a simple hydrothermal method, from pyrocatechol and formaldehyde, around which tungsten nanophases have been formed. One of these nanophases is tungsten carbide, whose electro-catalyt...
