Nitrogen-enriched mesoporous carbons were prepared from three chosen commercial activated carbons such as Carbon Black OMCARB C-140, KETJENBLACK EC-600JD and PK 1-3 Norit. HRTEM, SEM, Raman spectra, elemental analysis, XPS studies and widely approved N2 adsorption–desorption measurements allowed us to evaluate the effectiveness of N atom insertion and its influence on the BET surface area and the pore structure of modified carbons. The obtained materials have an exceptionally high N content of up to 3.2 wt.%. Additionally, selected N-doped activated carbons were fully characterized to evaluate their applicability as carbon electrode materials with particular emphasis on Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR). The proposed method is a relatively facile, efficient and universal option that can be added to the already known methods of introducing heteroatoms to different carbons.}, organization = {Innovation Incubator 4.0 NCU (Poland) 5/2021 MNISW/2020/331}, organization = {NCU competition Mobility 4 edition project 60/2021/Mobility}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {Carbon materials}, keywords = {Mesoporous activated carbons}, keywords = {Gamma irradiation}, keywords = {Heteroatoms}, keywords = {Nitrogen}, title = {Obtaining N-Enriched Mesoporous Carbon-Based by Means of Gamma Radiation}, doi = {10.3390/nano12183156}, author = {Kamedulski, Piotr and Abdelkader Fernández, Víctor Karim}, }
