Abstract:
The invention relates to electrocatalysts comprising a carbonitride (CN) shell featuring good electrical conductivity, coordinating suitable catalytically active sites. In a preferred aspect of the invention, the aforesaid carbonitride shell coordinates nanoparticles or aggregates of nanoparticles, on which the active sites of the electrocatalyst are located. In a preferred form of the invention, said carbonitride shell covers suitable cores with good electrical conductivity. Said electrocatalysts are obtained through a process involving the pyrolysis of suitable precursors; in one aspect of the invention, the preparation process requires certain further steps. In one preferred aspect, the steps comprise one or more of the following: chemical treatments; electrochemical treatments; further pyrolysis processes.

Claim (Index 15):
The method according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the precursor is prepared through a sol-gel reaction comprising: generating a solution A, wherein solution A comprises water, a polar organic solvent and at least one complex containing a transition metal coordinated by at least a good leaving group; generating a solution B, wherein solution B comprises a polar organic solvent and an organic crosslinker bearing functional groups containing nitrogen; generating a solution C wherein solution C comprises water, a polar organic solvent and at least one complex containing a transition metal coordinated by good leaving groups; mixing solution A and solution B and then mixing the thus obtained solution with solution C.
