“…The C 1s spectrum of A-NPC-800 shown in Figure b can be decomposed into four peaks at 284.1, 284.8, 286.1, and 288.7 eV, which are CC, CN/C–P, C–O, and C–N/CO, respectively . The N 1s spectrum (Figure c) can be decomposed into four separate peaks, namely, pyridinic nitrogen (N-6, with 398.3 eV as the center), pyrrolic nitrogen (N-5, with 400 eV as the center), and oxidized nitrogen (N-X, with 404.3 eV). − According to previous reports, in alkaline aqueous electrolyte solutions, N-6 and N-5 at the edges of the graphite layer exert a pseudocapacitive effect, which is significant for enhancing the capacitive characteristics of porous carbon materials. − The P 2p spectrum of phosphorus can be decomposed into two peaks at 132.4 and 133.2 eV that correspond to P–C and P–O, respectively (Figure d), indicating the formation of phosphorous species . As previously reported, P–C can generate a lot of active sites .…”
