Abstract
Due to similar aerodynamic and micro-nano sized properties between airborne particles and synthetic nanoparticles, a large number of studies have been conducted using carbon-based particles, such as carbon black (CB), carbon nanotubes and graphite, in order to achieve deeper understandings of their adverse effects on human health. It has been reported that particulate matters can aggravate morbidity of patients suffering from bone and joint diseases, e.g. arthritis. However, the molecular mechanism is still elusive thus far. Under this context, we employed two cell lines of osteoblasts, MC3T3-E1 and MG-63, upon exposure to 4 different CB samples with differential physicochemical properties in research of mechanistic insights. Our results indicated that the carbon/oxygen ratio differed in these 4 CB materials showing the order: SB4A < Printex U < C1864 < C824455. In stark contrast, their cytotoxicity and capacity to trigger reactive oxygen species (ROS) in MC3T3-E1 and MG-63 cells closely correlated to oxygen content, revealing the reverse order: SB4A < Printex U < C1864 < C824455. It would be reasonable to speculate that ROS production was a predominant cause of CB cytotoxicity, which strongly relied on the oxygen content of CB. Our study further manifested that all CB samples even at low concentrations significantly inhibited osteoblast differentiation, as reflected by remarkably reduced activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and compromised expression of the differentiation-related genes. And the inhibition on osteoblast differentiation also closely correlated to oxygen content of CB samples. Taken together, our combined data recognized oxygen-associated toxicity towards osteoblasts for CBs. More importantly, we uncovered a new adverse effect of CB exposure: suppression on osteoblast differentiation, which has been overlooked in the past.

Abstract
The intrinsic ionic nature of room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) bears the potential to replace classical aqueous electrolytes in electrochemical applications, for example in metal-air batteries. For a systematic adjustment of RTIL properties in porous cathodes, the ionic arrangement under confinement is of prime importance. Using spectrally resolved pulsed gradient stimulated echo nuclear magnetic resonance (PGSTE-NMR) and spin-lattice NMR relaxation time (T1) distributions, the dynamics of 1-methyl-1-propylpyrrolidiniumbis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([Pyr13][Tf2N]) confined to carbon black were investigated. A considerable dependence of the [PYR13] mobility on the loading fraction of the carbon black pore space was found. There is evidence for a preferential layering of the RTIL adjacent to the carbon surface and a dependence of the ionic configuration on the local structure of the carbon surface. The inversion efficiency of inversion-recovery T1 data indicates a quasi-stationary layer at the carbon surface with solid-like properties, where the bulk-like properties of the RTIL are adopted as the distance to the surface increases. From the NMR diffusion data an intermediate layer between the quasi-stationary and the bulk-like RTIL is evident. This layer shows a particularly strong pore space loading dependence. While it has an anisotropic, two-dimensional mobility with reduced diffusion perpendicular to the surface at any loading, when it interfaces a gas phase at low loading its mobility is higher than bulk diffusion by up to an order of magnitude and chemical exchange with other layers is low. This layer appears to be of particular importance for the ion exchange between RTIL environments with different spacing from the carbon surface and hence crucial for the overall dynamics of RTILs in the investigated porous environment.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) have received much attention due to their extraordinary optical application in
medical diagnostics, optoelectronics and in energy storage devices. The most conventional QDs are based on
semiconductors that comprise heavy metals whose applications are limited due to toxicity and potential environmental
hazard. Of late, researchers are focusing on carbon-based quantum dots, which have recently emerged as a
new family of zero-dimensional nanostructured materials. They are spherical in shape with a size below 10 nm
and exhibit excitation-wavelength-dependent photoluminescence (PL). Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) have
unique optical, photoluminescence and electrochemical properties. They are environment-friendly with low toxicity
as compared to toxic heavy metal quantum dots. Generally, CQDs are derived from chemical precursor materials,
but recently researchers have focused their attention on the production of CQDs from waste biomass materials
due to the economic and environmental exigency. In this review, recent advances in the synthesis of CQDs
from waste biomass materials, functionalization and modulation of CQDs and their potential application of biosensing
are focused. This review also brings out some challenges and future perspectives for developing smart
biosensing gadgets based on CQDs.

Abstract
Even though lignin carbon fiber has been sought after for several decades, the poor mechanical performance remains to be a major barrier for commercial applications. The low mechanical performance is attributed to the heterogeneity of lignin polymer. Recent advances in fractionation technologies showed the great potential to reduce lignin heterogeneity, but current fractionation methods often depend on costly chemicals and materials such as enzymes, organic solvents, membranes, and dialysis tubes. Here, a new non-solvent strategy was developed to fractionate lignin by autohydrolysis. By using only water, lignin was efficiently fractionated into water-soluble and -insoluble fractions. The latter fraction had increased molecular weight and uniformity and resulted in more β-O-4 interunitary linkages as analyzed by size-exclusion chromatography and 2D heteronuclear single quantum coherence NMR spectroscopy, respectively. In particular, the water-insoluble fraction significantly enhanced the mechanical performances of the resultant carbon fibers. Mechanistic study by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) revealed that the miscibility of lignin with guest polyacrylonitrile molecules was improved with the reduced lignin heterogeneity. Crystallite analyses by XRD and Raman spectroscopy revealed that the crystallite size and content of the pre-graphitic turbostratic carbon structure were increased. The fundamental understanding revealed how lignin fractionation could modify lignin chemical features to enhance the mechanical performance of resultant carbon fibers. The autohydrolysis fractionation thus represents a green, economic, and efficient methodology to process lignin waste and boost lignin carbon fiber quality, which could open new horizons for lignin valorization.

Abstract
Flexible enzymatic glucose sensors have been investigated extensively for health monitoring systems. However, enzymatic glucose sensors have some problems, such as poor stability and complicated immobilization procedures. Rational and controllable design of nanomaterials with a unique structure, high activity and good electrochemical performance for nonenzymatic glucose sensors is desired critically. In this paper, we synthesize cuprous oxide nanoparticles embedded in carbon spheres directly on carbonized silk fabrics (Cu2O NPs@CSs/CSF), which is further used for the fabrication of a flexible and self-supported non-enzymatic glucose sensor. The Cu2O NPs@CSs/CSF shows good electrical conductivity due to the large contact area and the stable connection between the carbonized silk fabrics and carbon spheres. We demonstrate that the as-obtained non-enzymatic glucose sensor possesses high sensitivity and good stability, indicating its potential for practical applications. This strategy diversifies the toolbox available to the field of nonenzymatic glucose sensors and holds promise for flexible electronic devices.

Abstract
Biomass-derived carbonaceous constituents constitute fascinating green technology for electrochemical energy-storage devices. In light of this, interconnected mesoporous graphitic carbon nanoflakes were synthesized by utilizing waste green-tea powders through the sequential steps of air-assisted carbonization, followed by potassium hydroxide activation and water treatment. Green-tea waste-derived graphitic carbon displays an interconnected network of aggregated mesoporous nanoflakes. When using the mesoporous graphitic carbon nanoflakes as an anode material for the lithium-ion battery, an initial capacity of ~706 mAh/g and a reversible discharge capacity of ~400 mAh/g are achieved. Furthermore, the device sustains a large coulombic efficiency up to 96% during 100 operation cycles under the applied current density of 0.1 A/g. These findings depict that the bio-generated mesoporous graphitic carbon nanoflakes could be effectively utilized as a high-quality anode material in lithium-ion battery devices.

Abstract
A paraffin microsphere-templated 3D porous EcoFlex sponge was prepared to selectively absorb oil or chemicals from water. The technology for producing this EcoFlex sponge does not need complicated synthesis processes or instruments, and the materials applied in this work are ecofriendly. Therefore, this sponge can be employed in the environmental field. EcoFlex sponges showed high hydrophobicity (contact angle = 140-143°) and oleophilicity. The developed sponge exhibits a porous three-dimensional framework inside with excellent internal connectivity, which contributes both better absorption capacity and faster absorption rate. For instance, the absorption capacity for chloroform can reach 3400 wt %. The absorption capacity of the sponge was optimized using different size of paraffin microspheres and these sponges exhibit relatively high absorption capacity in a short time (2 min). The volume of sponge expands in some oils and organic solvents: the increased volume capacity for hexane can reach 2200%. This sponge also has great recovery capability and durability; it keeps its original shape and absorption capacity after 15 cycles of oil absorption and compression.

Abstract
In this study, Liquidambar formosana tree leaves have been used as a renewable biomass precursor for preparing porous carbons (PCs). The PCs were produced by pyrolysis of natural waste of leaves after 10% KOH activation under a nitrogen atmosphere and characterized by a variety of state-of-the-art techniques. The PCs possess a large surface area, micro-/mesoporosity, and functional groups on its surface. A glassy carbon electrode modified with high PCs was explored as an efficient binder-free electrocatalyst material for the voltammetric determination of nitro isomers such as 3-nitroaniline (3-NA) and 4-nitroaniline (4-NA). Under optimal experimental conditions, the electrochemical detection of 3-NA and 4-NA was found to have a wide linear range of 0.2-115.6 and 0.5-120 μM and a low detection limit of 0.0551 and 0.0326 μM, respectively, with appreciable selectivity. This route not only enhanced the benefit from biomass wastes but also reduced the cost of producing electrode materials for electrochemical sensors. Additionally, the sensor was successfully applied in the determination of nitro isomers even in the presence of other common electroactive interference and real samples analysis (beverage and pineapple jam solutions). Therefore, the proposed method is simple, rapid, stable, sensitive, specific, reproducible, and cost-effective and can be applicable for real sample detection.

Abstract
The high number of natural organic matter contain in wetland water may cause its water has brown color and not consumable. In other hand, intrusion of sea water through wetland aquifer create water become saline, notably on hot season. Coagulation is effective method to applied for removing of natural organic matter. However, it could not be used for salinity removal. Hence combination of coagulation and pervaporation process is attractive method to removing both of natural organic matter and conductivity of wetland saline water. The objective of this works is to investigate optimum coagulant doses for removing organic matter by coagulation process as pretreatment and to analysis performance of coagulation-pervaporation silica-pectin membrane for removing of organic matter and conductivity of wetland saline water. Coagulation process in this work carried out under varied aluminum sulfate dose 10-60 mg.L-1. Silica-pectin membrane was used for pervaporation process at feed temperature ~25 °C (room temperature). Optimum condition of pretreatment coagulation set as alum dose at 30 mg.L-1 with maximum removal efficiency 81,8 % (UV254) and 40 % (conductivity). In other hand, combining of coagulation-pervaporation silica-pectin membrane shows both of UV254 and salt rejection extremely good instead without pretreatment coagulation of 86,8 % and 99,9 % for UV254 and salt rejection respectively. Moreover, water flux of silica-pectin membrane pervaporation with coagulation pretreatment shown higher 17,7 % over water flux of wetland saline water without pretreatment coagulation. Combining of coagulation and pervaporation silica-pectin membrane is effective to removing both of organic matter and salinity of wetland saline water at room temperature.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an emerging class of porous materials with attractive properties, however, their practical applications are heavily hindered by their fragile nature. We report herein an effective strategy to transform fragile coordination bonds in MOFs into stable covalent organic bonds under mild annealing decarboxylative coupling reaction conditions, which results in highly stable organic framework materials. This strategy successfully endows intrinsic framework skeletons, porosity and properties of the parent MOFs in the daughter organic framework materials, which exhibit excellent chemical stability under harsh catalytic conditions. Therefore, this work opens a new avenue to synthesize stable organic framework materials derived from MOFs for applications in different fields.

Abstract
The recovery and separation of high value and low volume extractives are a considerable challenge for the commercial realisation of zero-waste biorefineries. Using solid-phase extractions (SPE) based on sustainable sorbents is a promising method to enable efficient, green and selective separation of these complex extractive mixtures. Mesoporous carbonaceous solids derived from renewable polysaccharides are ideal stationary phases due to their tuneable functionality and surface structure. In this study, the structure-separation relationships of thirteen polysaccharide-derived mesoporous materials and two modified types as sorbents for ten naturally-occurring bioactive phenolic compounds were investigated. For the first time, a comprehensive statistical analysis of the key molecular and surface properties influencing the recovery of these species was carried out. The obtained results show the possibility of developing tailored materials for purification, separation or extraction, depending on the molecular composition of the analyte. The wide versatility and application span of these polysaccharide-derived mesoporous materials offer new sustainable and inexpensive alternatives to traditional silica-based stationary phases.

Abstract
[n]Cycloparaphenylenes, or "carbon nanohoops," are unique conjugated macrocycles with radially oriented π-systems similar to those in carbon nanotubes. The centrosymmetric nature and conformational rigidity of these molecules lead to unusual size-dependent photophysical characteristics. To investigate these effects further and expand the family of possible structures, a new class of related carbon nanohoops with broken symmetry is disclosed. In these structures, referred to as meta[n]cycloparaphenylenes, a single carbon-carbon bond is shifted by one position in order to break the centrosymmetric nature of the parent [n]cycloparaphenylenes. Advantageously, the symmetry breaking leads to bright emission in the smaller nanohoops, which are typically non-fluorescent due to optical selection rules. Moreover, this simple structural manipulation retains one of the most unique features of the nanohoop structures-size dependent emissive properties with relatively large extinction coefficients and quantum yields. Inspired by earlier theoretical work by Tretiak and co-workers, this joint synthetic, photophysical, and theoretical study provides further design principles to manipulate the optical properties of this growing class of molecules with radially oriented π-systems.

Abstract
The construction of refined architectures plays a crucial role in performance improvement and application expansion of advanced materials. The synthesis of carbon microspheres with a refined hierarchical structure is still a problem in synthetic methodology, because it is difficult to achieve the necessary delicate control of the interior structure and outer shell across the microscale to nanoscale. Nitrogen-doped multichamber carbon (MCC) microspheres with a refined hierarchical structure are realized here via a surfactant-directed space-confined polymerization strategy. The MCC precursor is not the traditional phenolic resol but a new kind of 2,6-diaminopyridine-based multichamber polymer (MCP) with a high nitrogen content up to 20 wt%. The morphology and sizes of MCP microspheres can be easily controlled by a dual-surfactant system. The as-synthesized MCC with a highly microporous shell, a multichamber inner core, and beneficial N-doping can serve as a promising supercapacitor material.

Abstract
Lignin is a renewable biopolymer considered as a potential precursor for low-cost carbon materials. Thermal oxidative stabilization (TOS) is an important processing step to maintain fiber geometry during carbonization, yet the impact of TOS on the properties of lignin-based carbon materials has not been clearly identified in the literature. Yield, change in fiber diameter/distribution, elemental composition, and mechanical properties were explored for both stabilized and carbonized lignin fibers. Vibrational spectroscopy and solid-state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy were used to analyze the changes in lignin molecular structure after exposure to various heating conditions during the TOS steps. Further, studies were focused on the effects of TOS conditions on the resulting carbon structure of fiber mats through Raman spectroscopy measurements and electrical conductivity analysis. Although TOS conditions influenced the properties of the oxidized lignin fiber mats, properties of the carbonized samples were invariant to the TOS procedures used in this study over most of the conditions. As a result, there was flexibility for the parameters (time and temperature) in the TOS process when conditioning softwood lignin materials for carbon fibers.

Abstract
Tailorable sorption properties at the molecular level are key for efficient carbon capture and storage and a hallmark of covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Although amine functional groups are known to facilitate CO2 uptake, atomistic insights into CO2 sorption by COFs modified with amine-bearing functional groups are scarce. Herein, we present a detailed study of the interactions of carbon dioxide and water with two isostructural hydrazone-linked COFs with different polarities based on the 2,5-diethoxyterephthalohydrazide linker. Varying amounts of tertiary amines were introduced in the COF backbones by means of a copolymerization approach using 2,5-bis(2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy)terephthalohydrazide in different amounts ranging from 25 to 100% substitution of the original DETH linker. The interactions of the frameworks with CO2 and H2O were comprehensively studied by means of sorption analysis, solid-state NMR spectroscopy, and quantum-chemical calculations. We show that the addition of the tertiary amine linker increases the overall CO2 sorption capacity normalized by the surface area and of the heat of adsorption, whereas surface areas and pore size diameters decrease. The formation of ammonium bicarbonate species in the COF pores is shown to occur, revealing the contributing role of water for CO2 uptake by amine-modified porous frameworks.

Abstract
The diverse chemical functionalities and wide availability of biomolecules make them essential and cost-effective resources for the fabrication of zero-dimensional quantum dots (QDs, also known as bio-dots) with extraordinary properties, such as high photoluminescence quantum yield, tunable emission, photo and chemical stability, excellent aqueous solubility, scalability, and biocompatibility. The additional advantages of scalability, tunable optical features and presence of heteroatoms make them suitable alternatives to conventional metal-based semiconductor QDs in the field of bioimaging, biosensing, drug delivery, solar cells, photocatalysis, and light-emitting devices. Furthermore, a recent focus of the scientific community has been on QD-based sustainable optoelectronics due to the primary concern of partially mitigating the current energy demand without affecting the environment. Hence, it is noteworthy to focus on the sustainable optoelectronic applications of biomolecule-derived QDs, which have tunable optical features, biocompatibility and the scope of scalability. This review addresses the recent advances in the synthesis, properties, and optoelectronic applications of biomolecule-derived QDs (especially, carbon- and graphene-based QDs (C-QDs and G-QDs, respectively)) and discloses their merits and disadvantages, challenges and future prospects in the field of sustainable optoelectronics. In brief, the current review focuses on two major issues: (i) the advantages of two families of carbon nanomaterials (i.e. C-QDs and G-QDs) derived from biomolecules of various categories, for instance (a) plant extracts including fruits, flowers, leaves, seeds, peels, and vegetables; (b) simple sugars and polysaccharides; (c) different amino acids and proteins; (d) nucleic acids, bacteria and fungi; and (e) biomasses and their waste and (ii) their applications as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), display systems, solar cells, photocatalysts and photo detectors. This review will not only bring a new paradigm towards the construction of advanced, sustainable and environment-friendly optoelectronic devices using natural resources and waste, but also provides critical insights to inspire researchers ranging from material chemists and chemical engineers to biotechnologists to search for exciting developments of this field and consequently make an advance step towards future bio-optoelectronics.

[PMID: 30861993 PMCID: PMC6473988 DOI: 10.3390/nano9030405] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2019] [Revised: 02/26/2019] [Accepted: 03/06/2019] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The synthesis of biomass-derived porous carbons (PCs) for supercapacitors by conventional two-steps method (chemical activation after carbonization) is complicated and time-consuming. In this study, we present a one-step microwave activation strategy to prepare hierarchically PCs from waste palm boosted by activated carbons (ACs). ACs with various specific surface areas (14, 642, and 1344 m²·g-1) were used for the first time to fast absorb microwave energy for converting waste palm into hierarchically PCs, that is, PC1, PC2, and PC3, respectively. The morphological and structural characterizations of PCs were studied. Also, the electrochemical performances of supercapacitors based on PCs as electrodes were further investigated. The results showed that the PC (PC1) boosted by AC with the lowest specific surface area possessed a porous structure (containing micro-, meso-, and macro- pores) with the largest specific surface area (1573 m²·g-1) and the highest micropore volume (0.573 cm³·g-1), as well as the suitable mesoporosity (29.69%). The as-prepared PC1 supercapacitor even in a gel electrolyte (PVA/LiCl) exhibited a high specific capacitance of 226.0 F·g-1 at 0.5 A·g-1 and presented excellent charge-discharge performance with an energy density of 72.3 Wh·kg-1 at a power density of 1.4 kW·kg-1 and 50.0 Wh·kg-1 at 28.8 kW·kg-1. Moreover, this promising method exhibited a simple, rapid, and cost-effective preparation of carbon materials from renewable biomass for energy storage applications.

Abstract
Carbon nanomaterials doped with some other lightweight elements were recently described as powerful, heterogeneous, metal-free organocatalysts, adding to their high performance in electrocatalysis. Here, recent observations in traditional catalysis are reviewed, and the underlying reaction mechanisms of the catalyzed organic transformations are explored. In some cases, these are due to specific active functional sites, but more generally the catalytic activity relates to collective properties of the conjugated nanocarbon frameworks and the electron transfer from and to the catalytic centers and substrates. It is shown that the learnings are tightly related to those of electrocatalysis; i.e., the search for better electrocatalysts also improves chemocatalysis, and vice versa. Carbon-carbon heterojunction effects and some perspectives on future possibilities are discussed at the end.

Abstract
Although carbon is the second most abundant element in the biosphere, a large proportion of the available carbon resources in biomass from agriculture, stock farming, ocean fisheries, and other human activities is currently wasted. The use of sustainable carbonaceous materials as an alternative to precious metals in electrocatalysis is a promising pathway for transforming sustainable biomass resources into sustainable energy-conversion systems. The development of rational syntheses of metal-free carbonaceous catalysts derived from sustainable biomass has therefore become a topic of significant interest in materials chemistry. However, great efforts are still required to develop methods that are low cost, scalable, and environmentally friendly and which afford carbonaceous materials having an electrocatalytic performance comparable to, or even better than, existing precious metal catalysts. Herein, recent achievements in developing metal-free carbonaceous catalysts based on biomass are reviewed and discussed and the critical issues which still need to be addressed are highlighted. The focus is on representative synthesis and optimization strategies applicable to different kinds of biomass, as well as studies of the physicochemical structure and electrochemical performance of the resulting metal-free carbonaceous catalysts. Finally, some guidelines for the future development of this important area are provided.

Abstract
Owing to their high earth-abundance, eco-friendliness, high electrical conductivity, large surface area, structure tunability at the atomic/morphological levels, and excellent stability in harsh conditions, carbon-based metal-free materials have become promising advanced electrode materials for high-performance pseudocapacitors and metal-air batteries. Furthermore, carbon-based nanomaterials with well-defined structures can function as green catalysts because of their efficiency in advanced oxidation processes to remove organics in air or from water, which reduces the cost for air/water purification and avoids cross-contamination by eliminating the release of heavy metals/metal ions. Here, the research and development of carbon-based catalysts in supercapacitors and batteries for clean energy storage as well as in air/water treatments for environmental remediation are reviewed. The related mechanistic understanding and design principles of carbon-based metal-free catalysts are illustrated, along with the challenges and perspectives in this emerging field.

Abstract
New synergic behavior is always inspiring scientists toward the formation of nanocomposites aiming at getting advanced materials with superior performance and/or novel properties. Carbon nanotubes (CNT), graphene, fullerene, and graphite as carbon-based are great fillers for polymeric materials. The presence of these materials in the polymeric matrix would render it several characteristics, such as electrical and thermal conductivity, magnetic, mechanical, and as sensor materials for pressure and other environmental changes. This review presents the most recent works in the use of CNT, graphene, fullerene, and graphite as filler in different polymeric matrixes. The primary emphasis of this review is on CNT preparation and its composites formation, while others carbon-based nano-fillers are also introduced. The methods of making polymer nanocomposites using these fillers and their impact on the properties obtained are also presented and discussed.

Abstract
The catalytic conversion of CO2 is a promising solution to the greenhouse effect and simultaneously recycles the carbon sources to produce high value-added chemicals. Herein, we demonstrated a class of nanoporous carbons, which were synthesized by the direct carbonization of bio-waste cow manure, followed by activation with KOH and NaNH2. Various characterizations indicate that the resultant nanoporous carbons have abundant nanopores and nitrogen sites. As a result, their performances for the capture and catalytic conversion of CO2 were investigated. The synthesized nanoporous carbons exhibited superior properties for the selective capture and catalytic cycloaddition of CO2 to propylene oxide as compared to various solid materials.

Abstract
The discovery of efficient carbonaceous adsorbents for the removal of organic dyes is a meaningful subject. In this study, hierarchical porous carbon materials (HPCMs) were synthesized from petroleum pitch through template strategy coupled with in-situ chemical activation, and the optimal HPCM was further modified by Zn(II) to get modified HPCM (MHPCM). Their properties and structures were characterized, and their adsorption performances for two typical dyes, methylene blue (MB) and direct black 38 (DB 38), were examined. The as-prepared HPCMs and MHPCM exhibit high specific surface area with hierarchical pore structure, abundant oxygen-containing group, and distinct layered structure. As an adsorbent for dye removals, the MHPCM shows excellent performance with its Langmuir saturated adsorption capacity being 1585.7 and 438.6 mg/g for MB and DB 38, respectively. This is mainly due to the large surface area and hierarchical pore structure of HPCMs, as well as the modification effect of Zn(II). This work provides an efficient strategy for the synthesis of carbonaceous adsorbents used in the adsorptive removal of different molecular size dyes, as well as a new approach for the valuable use of low-cost petroleum pitch.

Abstract
Porous carbon materials with tunable porosities and functionalities represent an important class of CO2 sorbents. The development of porous carbons from various types of biomass is a sustainable, economic and environmentally friendly strategy. Wood is a biodegradable, renewable, sustainable, naturally abundant and carbon-rich raw material. Given these advantages, the use of wood-based resources for the synthesis of functional porous carbons has attracted great interests. In this mini-review, we present the recent developments regarding sustainable porous carbons derived from wood-based biopolymers (cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin) and their application in CO2 capture.

Abstract
Heteroatom doping has been demonstrated to be an effective strategy for improving the performance of catalysts. In this paper, cobalt carbon catalysts co-doped with nitrogen and sulfur (N and S) were synthesized through a hydrothermal method with chelate composites involving melamine, thioglycolic acid (C2H4O2S), and tetrahydrate cobalt acetate (Co(OAc)2·4H2O). In addition, the selective oxidation of ethylbenzene under solvent-free conditions with molecular oxygen was used as a probe reaction to evaluate the activity of the catalysts. The optimized catalyst shows an ethylbenzene conversion of 48% with an acetophenone selectivity of 85%. Furthermore, the catalysts were systematically characterized by techniques such as TEM, SEM, XRD, Raman, and XPS. The results reveal that the species of cobalt sulfides and synergistic effects between N and S has inserted a key influence on their catalytic performance. Co-N-S-C catalysts with rod-like structures were synthesized for the selective oxidation of ethylbenzene using O2 as an oxidant.![]()
