We have revised our manuscript again
We have made further modifications on the manuscript, especially the introduction section. The latest revisions are highlighted by green, while previous changes are highlighted by cyan.
To be specific: a) Some adjustments about sentence structures have been made to increase the diversity of expression.
b) The second example about N-doped carbon materials is relatively early research result published in 2009. Thus we have replaced it with a lasted and outstanding paper.
c) The unique effects of S-doping have been expounded in the revision to correspond to the effects of N-doping introduced above.
d) In addition to rewriting the part of introduction as you required, we have also polished and revised the chapters of experimental, results and discussion, conclusions and updated the section of references.
The initial examples about N-S-codoped carbon materials (references16 and 17) are earlier results published in 2012 and 2013. Thus we have replaced them with some lasted and outstanding papers.
