Hetero-Carbon: Heteroatomic Molecules and Nano-structures of Carbon

Carbon Nano‐Onions: A Review of Recent Progress in Synthesis and Applications

“…This method allows for maintaining the π‐conductive surface of CNOs, which is crucial for their applications in electrochemistry and electronics. Another synthesis method for N−CNOs was based on using pyridine . Nitrogen‐doped CNOs were formed during pyrolysis in the gas phase via the polymerization and polycondensation reactions of pyridine molecules.…”

Synthesis of reduced carbon nitride at the reduction by hydroquinone of water-soluble carbon nitride oxide (g-C3N4)O

“…Active search of the effective methods of a heterocarbon synthesis [1][2][3][4], which graphene layer contains one or several atoms of carbon that might be replaced by atoms of boron, nitrogen or silicon, is a logical step in the development of carbon nanochemistry after the discovery and successful synthesis of carbon monatomic molecules (fullerenes) and nanostructures (nanotubes, graphene, and onions). The asymmetry of an electronic density distribution in different forms of heterocarbon (azafullerene, borafullerene, azaborafullerene, C-N-nanotubes, and N-doped graphene) gives the base to consider it as the most perspective materials for the wide range of applications.…”

Nanostructural catalyst: metallophthalocyanine and carbon nano-onion with enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity towards organic pollutants

“…CNOs may have different sizes and shapes and are strongly connected to each other with their formation procedure. [71][72][73][74] These structures, which are formed from nanodiamond particles (NDs), are the most common CN in this group, mainly because their high reactivity is connected with their perfectly spherical structures. 72,75,76 CNOs derived from NDs are recognized as 'zero-dimensional' nanostructures due to their perfect spherical shape (6-8 graphitic shells and a diameter of 5-6 nm).…”
