“…The introduction of oxygen-containing functionalities has been demonstrated in carbon nanofibers, and their effect on their activity as catalyst or as catalyst support has been tested in several reactions, including ozonation [24] and catalytic wet air oxidation [25] of water contaminants, in fuel cell electrodes [26,27], nitrate [28], nitrobenzene [29,30], naphthalene [31], cinnamaldehyde [32,33], phenylacetylene [34] hydrogenation, nitrous oxide reduction [35], electrocatalytic oxygen reduction [35], methanol oxidation [36], Fischer-Tropsch reaction [27], and others [5]. Similar studies have been carried out when using other elements as dopants, such as nitrogen [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47], boron [38,45,48], potassium [27,38,49], fluorine [50,51], phosphorous [45], or sulfur [52][53][54]. Nevertheless, the various morphologies of the 1D carbon nanofibers illustrated in Figure 2 may offer particular characteristics of interest to specific catalytic applications, in particular the potential presence of a large number of defects on the carbon lattice of the carbon nanofibers when compared with carbon nanotubes (Figure…”
