title: Transforming chitosan into N-doped graphitic carbon electrocatalysts.
abstract: Chitosan, the only alkaline polysaccharide in nature with rich nitrogen content, is used as the sole precursor to obtain N-doped graphitic carbon-based ORR electrocatalysts. The findings of this work demonstrate that cheap, plentiful and renewable biomasses can be transformed into high value functional carbon materials.
