Abstract

The introduction of heteroatoms (i.e., atoms different from the carbon atom) with different sizes and electronegativities into a pure carbon structure offers a way to control the electron distribution within carbon materials. This heteroatom-doping process can improve their electrical, electrochemical, electronic, optical, thermal, and even mechanical properties, making them suitable for a diverse range of applications. While the use of heteroatom-doped carbon-based metal-free materials (C-MFMs) has been extensively reviewed for catalytic applications, a systematic review on their noncatalytic roles is still lacking. This review comprehensively analyzes the effects of heteroatom-doping (nitrogen, boron,…
