Abstract:A versatile shape-controlled carbon nanomaterial that can efficiently catalyze the selective C−N coupling reactions under metal-free and open-air conditions was developed by applying Ndoping and KOH activation strategies in candle soot (ANCS). The TEM and elemental mapping results showed the formation of sphereshaped carbon particles as well as the uniform distribution of nitrogen species in the carbon framework. KOH activation enhanced the specific surface area of carbon, whereas N-doping enriched the electro… Show more
