The nature of MgO precursor decomposition and pore-forming in hard-templating of porous carbon derived from cotton

Templated Nitrogen-, Iron-, and Cobalt-Doped Mesoporous Nanocarbon Derived from an Alkylresorcinol Mixture for Anion-Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Application

“…The MgO template is then dissolved in a later step to create additional porosity. It has been noted that the morphology can vary remarkably depending on carbon precursor/MgO mass ratios, and it is also highly dependent on the nature of MgO precursors, as well as the synthesis conditions. , The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area ( S BET ) and the total pore volume ( V tot ) are summarized in Table . The catalysts prepared without templates have the smallest S BET and V tot .…”

Shape tunability of carbonized cellulose nanocrystals

“…great attention for energy harvesting [23] and energy storage applications [24,25]. Cellulose has been proved a very promising template for the production of carbonaceous materials [26][27][28]. CNCs are good candidates as feedstock in nanostructured carbon production as demonstrated by Wu et al [29].…”

A study of the conversion of ethanol to 1,3-butadiene: effects of chemical and structural heterogeneity on the activity of MgO–SiO2 mixed oxide catalysts

“…Recently, waste cotton was described as a carbon source for the preparation of HSM templates. 66 However, the most widely used HSM templates are carbon CMK-3, which is a replica of the HT SBA-15 material, 67 and porous carbon obtained by carbonization of a resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) aerogel. [68][69][70][71][72] HSM materials are active in reactions that require strong base active sites, such as the Claisen-Schmidt condensation.…”

“…58,73 In combination with redox catalytic function, they also show activity in the oxidative ethylbenzene dehydrogenation reaction. 67 Moreover, these materials are commonly used as a basic adsorbent for the sequestration of carbon dioxide, 56,59,65 and as a scavenger of organic dyes 61,66,74 or various metal cations, such as Pb 2+ , 61 As 3+ , 64,72 As 5+ (ref. 62) and Cr 6+ .…”
