Rationalized atomic/clusters dispersion of Fe/Se/Al on interconnected N-doped carbon nanofibers for fast sodiation

Recent advances in the design of high-performance cobalt-based catalysts for dry reforming of methane

“…These defects, made by silanol groups generated on the surface, directly by synthesis procedures or by post-synthesis treatments, strongly affect the dispersion of metal particles on the catalyst surface. 173,174 Moreover, the weak acidity of these silanols does not produce a large amount of coke, leading to an enhancement of catalytic activity. According to our previous studies, activated carbon modified with potassium permanganate can greatly improve surface oxygen functional groups, such as hydroxyl group, carboxyl and lactone group, which improve the alkaline environment of the support surface and are beneficial for the adsorption and dissociation of CO 2 and CH 4 .…”
