Nitrogen-doped bamboo-like carbon nanotubes (N-BCNTs) were synthesised using a facile one-step pyrolysis process. Due to their unique one-dimensional hollow structure and intrinsic high nitrogen content, N-BCNTs exhibit high capacity, superior rate capability, and excellent cycle stability and are, thus, promising anode materials for sodium-ion batteries.

In oxygen electrocatalysis, how to rationally design low-cost catalysts with reasonable structure and long-term stability is a crucial issue. Here, an in-situ growth strategy is used to construct a shaped structure encapsulating a uniformly-dispersed Co/CoFe heterojunction in nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (Co/CoFe@NCNTs). Hollow CoFe layered-double-hydroxide prisms act as sacrifices for in-situ growth of Co/CoFe nanoparticles, which also catalyze the growth of bamboo-like NCNTs.

Bio-inspiration and biomimetics offer guidance for designing and synthesizing advanced catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Herein, a chlorine-doped FeP supported by nitrogen-doped carbon (Cl-FeP/NC) catalyst was designed and prepared based on imitating the bamboo structure. The electronegative chlorine captured the electron transfer from FeP and transferred it to NC through carbon nanotubes (CNTs).
