An unprecedented hypervalent iodine(III) catalyzed Balz–Schiemann reaction is described. In the presence of a hypervalent iodine compound, the fluorination reaction proceeds under mild conditions (25–60 °C), and features a wide substrate scope and good functional‐group compatibility.
Nitrogen-doped hierarchical porous biochar has aroused great interest in energy storage and adsorption applications. In this study, nitrogen-doped hierarchical porous biochar was prepared from corn stalks by in situ pyrolysis with urea as the nitrogen source and NaHCO 3 as the green activation agent. The liquid adsorption behavior of biochar was evaluated using phenol as a pollutant probe. The results showed that urea had a synergistic effect on the pore structure development of biochar in the presence of an activation agent. The addition of urea especially promoted the formation of micropores. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results showed that nitrogen atoms were successfully introduced into the skeleton of biochar in the form of different nitrogen species, which promote the adsorption of phenol. The phenol adsorption was dominated by micropore filling, and the adsorption capacity was positively correlated with the content of graphitic N. The nitrogen-doped biochar obtained at 700 °C with a moderate surface area and a high content of graphite type N exhibited the highest adsorption capacity of phenol. The kinetic analysis also indicates the existence of chemical interactions in the adsorption process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
