Abstract Nanoporous carbon–cobalt‐oxide hybrid materials are prepared by a simple, two‐step, thermal conversion of cobalt‐based metal–organic framework (zeolitic imidazolate framework‐9, ZIF‐9). ZIF‐9 is carbonized in an inert atmosphere to form nanoporous carbon–metallic‐cobalt materials, followed the subsequent oxidation air, yielding hybrids. The resulting evaluated as electrocatalysts for oxygen‐reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen‐evolution (OER) KOH electrolyte solution. exhibit similar...

Titanium oxide (TiO2) is a potential photocatalyst for removing toxic NOx from the atmosphere. Its practical application is, however, significantly limited by its low absorption into visible light and high degree of charge recombination.
