Abstract

The conversion of metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) nanoparticles derived from conventional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into self-supporting and well-defined metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) superstructures is essential for various functional applications but remains a significant challenge. In this study, a versatile chemical vapor deposition (CVD) strategy is developed for solvent-free synthesis of self-supporting carbonaceous nanotubes doped with metal and nitrogen (MNCT). The stable carbonaceous nanotubes doped with Fe and N (FeNCT) fabricated here exhibit excellent electrocatalytic performances for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and outperform the carbonaceous film doped with Fe and N grown on carbon foil directly (FeNC/CF), which demonstrates the advantages of the superstructure of FeNCT. This strategy also provides a way to tailor the metal-nitrogen-carbon nanotubes (MNCT) catalyst according to the feature of the reactor and exhibits many advantages, such as wide applicability and facile scalability.
