Metal Nanoparticles Supported on Biomass‐Derived Hierarchical Porous Heteroatom‐Doped Carbon from Bamboo Shoots: Design, Synthesis and Applications

Abstract

Heteroatom‐doped porous carbon derived from biomass have recently received increasing attention due to their unique properties such as high electrical conductivity, large specific surface area, high porosity, and easy availability, which are appealing materials for versatile applications in catalysis, energy, separation and adsorption, and life sciences as well. On the basis of our previous work in this field, we summarized in this account our recent progress on design, synthesis of metal (e. g., Pd, Co) nanoparticles supported heteroatom‐doped hierarchical porous carbon material derived from bamboo shoots and their applications for important organic transformations, including chemoselective semihydrogenation of alkynes, hydrosilylation of alkynes, cascade synthesis of benzofurans from terminal alkynes and iodophenols, selective hydrogenation of functionalized nitroarenes to form anilines, imines, and formamides. Finally, the current state and future challenges in this field are discussed. We hope this account could shed light on the rational design of novel non‐noble metal based heterogeneous catalysts derived from biomass for efficient and sustainable organic transformations.

Greener Aspects of Nanoparticle Synthesis for Water Remediation: Challenges and Future Perspective

“…The JC-CuNPs showed potential photocatalytic activity against MB with a rate constant (k) value of 2.30 × 10 −4 s −1 compared with other dyes in sunlight (Figure 12). Song and Yang [75] explored bamboo shoots as a readily available and renewable form of biomass for NPs synthesis. They fabricated Pd NPs immobilized on N, O-dual doped porous carbon derived from bamboo shoots by wet chemical impregnation and reduction.…”

Last Decade of Unconventional Methodologies for the Synthesis of Substituted Benzofurans

“…A multicatalytic system was also used in a cascade transformation of polyenynes into a polyaromatic structure [142]. Nanoparticles of Pd doped by carbon [143] or supported by N,O-dual-doped hierarchical porous carbon [144], as well as NpPd in water copper-and ligand-free [145], have all been new catalytic systems used to generate benzofurans.…”

Synthesis of Quinazolinones Via a Tandem Hydrogen-Transfer Strategy Catalyzed by N,S Co-doped Carbon-Anchored Co Nanoparticles

“…The construction of N -heterocycles has drawn considerable attention over the years owing to their wide applications in the pharmaceuticals, dyes, and materials. − Among them, quinazolinones have emerged as the most prevalent structural units existing in lots of synthetic drugs such as afloqualone, luotonin A, and cloroqualone (Scheme ). − Therefore, it has attracted widespread concern to explore the convenient, green, and atom-economic methodologies to selectively synthesize quinazolinones under mild conditions from inexpensive and easily available raw materials.…”
