  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Defect Engineering of Carbon Nanostructures

Part of the book series: Advances in Material Research and Technology ((AMRT))

Abstract

Doped carbon nanomaterials have been applied in batteries, supercapacitors and fuel cells. The different carbon-based nanomaterials doped with heteroatoms like nitrogen, sulfur, boron, phosphorous and their mixers are used to replace platinum and other costlier materials for the application of Oxygen Reduction Reactions (ORR). In this chapter, adhering of the dopants, synthesis of heterodoped nanocarbons, nanocarbon material doping for the ORR and the mechanisms for ORR have been discussed in detail. Heteroatom-doped 3-dimensional carbon nanotube ORR and compound heteroatom co-doped 3-dimensional carbon nanotubes are also reviewed extensively. Additionally, different fullerenes, namely boron–nitrogen–carbon, boron–nitrogen and possible point defects that occurred in the corner of the crystallite graphite are also discussed.
