A novel bioinspired polydopamine derivative was prepared by self-polymerization of 6-(2-aminoethyl)-3-hydroxypyridin-2(1H)-one in an alkaline medium. It could be used as precursor to produce pyridinic N-rich carbon nanocapsules with a desired N doping content and superior electrocatalytic activity and stability for the ORR.

N doping in graphene can be achieved using a facile and mild approach using electrochemical energy at room temperature with ammonia as the N source, which occurs at the carbon active sites generated in situ during the removal of oxygen containing species at cathodic potentials.
