Synthesis, Characterization and the gas phase catalytic activity of metal doped nanoporous carbon

Abstract

Metal doped nanoporous carbon(NPC) materials, based on polyfurfuryl alcohol and polyethylene glycol were synthesized using new method. The characterization were carried out using acid-base titration, PXRD, TEM, diffused reflectance FTIR, SEM and mass spectrometer. Their gas phase catalytic activities were checked by passing CO and H2 through the catalysts. Carbondioxide and methane were the evolved gases when CO was passed through the catalyst, whereas carbonmonoxide and methane are the resultant gases when H2 was taken up by the catalyst.
