  • ORR activity of the WGLs was examined using onion-like carbon (OLC) produced by the heat treatment of a nanodiamond [39]. The results showed the highest ORR activity for OLC heat-treated at 1400 °C among the prepared samples (HTT = 1000 °C to 1800 °C). The material formed OLCs composed of WGLs, but
