As doping temperature increase, each type of nitrogen-bonding show the different tendencies. The pyrrolic-N has a high proportion, but a low relative with temperature. Despite smaller contents, the pyridinic-N play a prominent part.

In this study, nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) and a TiO2 nanocomposite were synthesized using a simple hydrothermal route. Ammonia water was used as a nitrogen source to prepare the N-GQDs. When optically characterized by UV-vis, N-GQDs reveal stronger absorption peaks in the range of ultraviolet (UV) light than graphene quantum dots (GQDs). In comparison with GQDs/TiO2 and pure TiO2, the N-GQDs/TiO2 have significantly improved photocatalytic performance. In particular, it was found that, when the added amount of ammonia water was 50 mL, the content of pyridinic N and graphitic N were as high as 22.47% and 31.44%, respectively. Most important, the photocatalytic activity of N-GQDs/TiO2-50 was about 95% after 12 min. The results illustrated that pyridinic N and graphitic N play a significant role in photocatalytic performance.

In this study, nitrogen doped graphene (NG) was prepared by using hydrothermal treatment of graphene oxide (GO) and ethylene diamine (EDA). The surface chemistry of the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and the NG was investigated by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results revealed that there were four kinds of nitrogen substitution: pyrollic N, pyridinic N, graphitic N and C-NH2. Further, the electrical measurements illustrated that the NG had superior capacitive performance than that of the rGO. Specifically, the maximum specific capacitance of NG was 200.6 F/g due to the double-layer capacitive and pseudocapacitive effect from the nitrogen-doped graphene. In addition, the present studies showed that the EDA was not only choose as nitrogen doping source but also played a key role in reduction.

As cathode materials in lithium ion batteries, nitrogen-doped graphene frameworks (N-GFs) manifest excellent specific capacity and cycle stability, owing to the fast surface faradaic reactions of pyridinic N and pyridinic N-oxide with both p- and n-doped states.

The CO2 electrochemical reduction reaction (CO2RR) has been a promising conversion method for CO2 utilization. Currently, the lack of electrocatalysts with favorable stability and high efficiency hindered the development of CO2RR. Nitrogen-doped graphene nanocarbons have great promise in replacing metal catalysts for catalyzing CO2RR. By using the density functional theory (DFT) method, the catalytic mechanism and activity of CO2RR on 11 types of nitrogen-doped graphene have been explored. The free energy analysis reveals that the zigzag pyridinic N- and zigzag graphitic N-doped graphene possess outstanding catalytic activity and selectivity for HCOOH production with an energy barrier of 0.38 and 0.39 eV, respectively. CO is a competitive product since its free energy lies only about 0.20 eV above HCOOH. The minor product is CH3OH and CH4 for the zigzag pyridinic N-doped graphene and HCHO for zigzag graphitic N-doped graphene, respectively. However, for Z-pyN, CO2RR is passivated by too strong HER. Meanwhile, by modifying the pH value of the electrolyte, Z-GN could be selected as a promising nonmetal electrocatalyst for CO2RR in generating HCOOH.
