Immobilization of biomolecules in tailor-made nanometerscale structures can significantly improve the performance of biocatalytic processes. For efficient biocatalytic processes, it is highly desirable to develop nanostructured materials that enable high loading and long-term stability of the biocatalysts, as well as low mass-transfer resistance. In this regard, inorganic mesoporous materials [1] with well-controlled pore structures have gained much attention as appropriate, high-capacity hosts for biocatalysts. [2][3][4][5] Template synthesis has frequently been used to synthesize novel porous carbon materials.[6] Recently, a new class of nanoporous carbons, ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC), has been synthesized using ordered mesoporous silica materials as COMMUNICATIONS 2828
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.
