“…Furthermore, the presence of nitrogen atoms in the carbonaceous material tailors their surface properties accordingly, supporting a new idea to employ it as one active substrate for mercury-free hydrochlorination. For example, Bao's group [25,26] and others [27,28] have shown that carbon nitrides can be chemically shaped to a variety of nanostructures, and can catalyze directly transformation of acetylene to vinyl chloride. However, their use on an industrial scale is restricted by the lower activity, and hence limits the production capacity and leads to difficult purification.…”
