The group of WANG Dan has found a new way to introduce sp-hybridized nitrogen (sp-N) into chemically defined sites of ultrathin graphdiyne. The new material exhibited excellent comprehensive oxygen reduction properties when it was used as the cathode of fuel cells. Doping site and proportion of sp-N atoms could be well controlled.
