Fig. S5 shows the STEM images and line scanning spectra of CoNi@SNC with different sample areas. In Fig. S5a, the lower and flat-distributed intensity curve of S than Co suggests that S atoms are doped in carbon matrix. However, the intensity curves of S, Co and Ni in Fig. S5b are almost identical, possibly implying a
combination of Co with S to form Co 9 S 8, which can be further confirmed by XPS characterization, as shown in Fig. 5d in the manuscript. Intensity (a.u.)
