Understanding hydrazine oxidation electrocatalysis on undoped carbon.

Carbons are ubiquitous electrocatalytic supports for various energy-related transformations, especially in fuel cells. Doped carbons such as Fe-N-C materials are particularly active towards the oxidation of hydrazine, an alternative fuel and hydrogen carrier. However, there is little discussion of the electrocatalytic role of the most abundant component - the carbon matrix - towards the hydrazine oxidation reaction (HzOR).
