Using pyrolysis method, the heteroatom-doped carbon with 4.06% of nitrogen, and 10.42% of oxygen was achieved in the report. From XPS analysis it was evident that, 2.22% of the surface oxygen was removed after high temperature hydrogen reduction, while the content of nitrogen remained almost unchanged. The SBET of heteroatom doped carbon, and reduced heteroatom doped carbon were 90 m 2 g -1 , and 226 m 2 g -1 , respectively as observed through BET analysis.
