“…Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic compounds that exhibit a high vapor pressure under ambient conditions, such as hydrocarbons, haloalkanes, alcohols, ethers, and carbonyl compounds (e.g., aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters). − Most VOCs are associated with human health issues, including sick-building syndrome, asthma, leukemia, and cancer, as well as environmental phenomena such as stratospheric ozone depletion and photochemical smog formation. − Therefore, the development of efficient technologies to decrease the concentration of VOCs has been the subject of urgent research, with VOC adsorption by porous materials emerging as a promising technique. − Activated carbon materials have been applied industrially for this purpose; however, activated carbon materials exhibit several disadvantages in the adsorption/desorption of volatile carbonyl compounds. , For example, the adsorption of ketones on activated carbon materials tends to induce oxidation, decomposition, and polymerization reactions . As these reactions are exothermic, the ignition of the activated carbon materials is a concern.…”
