Honeycomb-like nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanosphere encapsulated ultrafine Pd nanoparticles for selectively catalyzing hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde in water

Tuning the metal valence state of Pd nanoparticles via codoping of B–N for chlorophenol hydrodechlorination

“…[19][20][21] Recently, hierarchically porous carbon (HPC) has attracted enormous research interests in the domain of catalysis owing to the confinement effect and excellent stability under acidic and alkaline conditions. [22][23][24] Additionally, compared with irregularly shaped micropores in activated carbon, HOPC can not only provide efficient mass transport to approximate the active sites and decrease transport resistance of ions owing to the mesopores (2-50 nm) but also impart an enormous pore volume and surface area as rich active sites owing the micropores (o2 nm). [25][26][27] Currently, a great number of synthesis methods are employed to synthesize HOPC, among which template methods are commonly used.…”
