Abstract
Heteroatom-doped carbon materials have been regarded as sustainable alternatives to the noble-metal catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), while the catalytic performances still remain unsatisfactory. Herein, we develop a metal-free adjacent N, P and S-codoped hierarchical porous carbon nanoshells (NPS-HPCNs) through a novel layer-by-layer template coating method. The NPS-HPCNs is rationally fabricated by crosslinking of polyethyenemine (PEI) and phytic acid (PA) on nano-SiO2 template surface and subsequently coating of viscous sulfur-bearing petroleum pitch, followed by pyrolysis and alkaline etching. Soft X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations prove the engineering of adjacent N, P and S atoms to generate synergistic and reinforced active sites for oxygen electrocatalysis. The NPS-HPCNs manifests excellent ORR activity with a half-wave potential (E1/2) of 0.86 V, as well as promoted durability and methanol tolerance in alkaline medium. Remarkably, the NPS-HPCNs-based Zn-air battery delivers an open-circuit voltage of 1.479 V, a considerable peak power density of 206 mW cm-2 and robust cycling stability (over 200 h), even exceeding the commercial Pt/C catalyst. This study offers fundamental insights into the construction and synergistic mechanism of adjacent heteroatoms on carbon substrate, providing advanced metal-free electrocatalysts for Zn-air batteries and other energy conversion and storage devices.

Abstract
Developing highly efficient and cost-effective catalyst with tuned microstructure holds great promise in the reduction of nitroaromatic compounds under mild reaction conditions. Herein, we report a new Co@NC-MF catalyst with a fascinating hierarchical flower-like architecture in situ assembled from uniform Co@NC nanoneedles, which can function as a favorable platform for the efficient reduction of nitroaromatic compounds in the presence of NaBH4. In addition with the structural advantage, the characterization and experimental results demonstrate the enormous advantage of interfacial synergistic catalysis in enhancing the catalytic performance. The outside electron-rich N-doped carbon layer as Lewis basic sites and the inside Co nanoparticles are responsible for the adsorption of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and generation of active hydrogen species, respectively. This work contributes to the construction of well-integrated composites with well-balanced interface synergy to boost the catalytic performance in various heterogeneous reactions.

Abstract
In the area of catalysis, selective reduction of nitro compounds to amino compounds is a colossal challenge due to the existence of competitive reducible functional groups. Herein, an Fe-based catalyst FeSAs/Fe2O3ACs/N-doped polyhedral carbon (NPC) has been designed and synthesized. As we expected, compared with FeSAs and FeNPs, FeSAs/Fe2O3ACs/NPC shows excellent catalytic performance (turnover frequency up to 1923 h-1, calculated with nitrobenzene), chemoselectivity, and tolerance during the hydrogenation reaction of nitro compounds under room temperature because of the synergistic effects between FeSAs and Fe2O3ACs. The theoretical calculations show that FeSAs prefers to undergo hydrazine decomposition to generate hydrogen and the Fe2O3ACs surface is more active toward the nitrobenzene reduction to aniline.
