Three-dimensional (3D) heteroatom- by embedding cobalt nanocrystals in nitrogen-doped gra- doped graphene-based materials have been reported to be phene xerogel efficient electrocatalysts for ORR in fuel cells for energy conversion. In this study, a novel cobalt-embedded nitro- gen-doped graphene xerogel (denoted as Co-NGX) was prepared by a facile one-step hydrothermal method. The Co-NGX hybrid obtained at the pyrolysis temperature of 900 C (labeled as Co-NGX 900) was comparable to the benchmark Pt/C catalyst in terms of the onset potential and half-wave potential, indicating excellent ORR activity of our Co-NGX 900 catalyst. Additionally, the proposed Co- NGX 900 also displayed higher stability and better methanol tolerance than the commercial Pt/C, which might hold
