ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:35676-35685. [PMID: 39184471 PMCID: PMC11339823 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c03987] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2024] [Revised: 07/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/30/2024] [Indexed: 08/27/2024]
Abstract
A versatile shape-controlled carbon nanomaterial that can efficiently catalyze the selective C-N coupling reactions under metal-free and open-air conditions was developed by applying N-doping and KOH activation strategies in candle soot (ANCS). The TEM and elemental mapping results showed the formation of sphere-shaped carbon particles as well as the uniform distribution of nitrogen species in the carbon framework. KOH activation enhanced the specific surface area of carbon, whereas N-doping enriched the electron-deficient nature by introducing functional N-based pyrrolic/graphitic structures in the carbon framework. The synergistic effect of N-doping and KOH activation significantly improved the catalytic efficiency of the carbon catalyst (ANCS), giving a 96% conversion of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) with a good selectivity to 2-phenylbenzimidazole (97%). In contrast, the pristine carbon exhibited very low activity (48% conversion of the OPD and 36% selectivity to 2-phenylbenzimidazole). Besides, the ANCS nanomaterial provided a facile catalytic approach for the homo- and cross-C-N condensation of various aromatic amines and diamines to produce diverse functional imines and benzimidazoles at mild conditions. This work provided promising insights into developing advanced, metal-free carbon-based catalysts for selective C-N coupling reactions to produce valuable drug motifs.

Bio-based protic salts as precursors for sustainable free-standing film electrodes. Sci Rep 2024; 14:11106. [PMID: 38750130 PMCID: PMC11096361 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-61553-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Transforming amines with low boiling points and high volatilities into protic salts is a versatile strategy to utilize low molecular weight compounds as precursors for N-doped carbon structures in a straightforward carbonization procedure. Herein, conventional mineral acids commonly used for the synthesis of protic salts were replaced by bio-derived phytic acid, which, combined with various amines and amino acids, yielded partially or fully bio-derived protic salts. The biomass-based salts showed higher char-forming ability than their mineral acid-based analogs (up to 55.9% at 800°), simultaneously providing carbon materials with significant porosity (up to 1177 m2g-1) and a considerable level of N,P,O-doping. Here, we present the first comprehensive study on the correlation between the structure of the bio-derived protic precursors and the properties of derived carbon materials to guide future designs of biomass-derived precursors for the one-step synthesis of sustainable carbon materials. Additionally, we demonstrate how to improve the textural properties of the protic-salt-derived carbons (which suffer from high brittleness) by simply upgrading them into highly flexible nanocomposites using high-quality single-walled carbon nanotubes. Consequently, self-standing electrodes for the oxygen reduction reaction were created.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:7614.

Abstract
Currently, the development of nonmetallic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts based on heteroatomic-doped carbon materials is receiving increaseing attention in the field of fuel cells. Here, we used enzymolytic lignin (EL), melamine, and thiourea as carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur sources and NH4Cl as an activator to prepare N- and S-codoped lignin-based polyporous carbon (ELC) by one-step pyrolysis. The prepared lignin-derived biocarbon material (ELC-1-900) possessed a high specific surface area (844 m2 g-1), abundant mesoporous structure, and a large pore volume (0.587 cm3 g-1). The XPS results showed that ELC-1-900 was successfully doped with N and S. ELC-1-900 exhibited extremely high activity and stability in alkaline media for the ORR, with a half-wave potential (E1/2 = 0.88 V) and starting potential (Eonset = 0.98 V) superior to those of Pt/C catalysts and most non-noble-metal catalysts reported in recent studies. In addition, ELC-1-900 showed better ORR stability and methanol tolerance in alkaline media than commercial Pt/C catalysts.

Abstract
Gelatine and chitosan were used as natural precursors for nitrogen-doping of the graphene foam structure, creating specific types of active sites. The quantitative and qualitative content of nitrogen groups in the carbon structure was determined, which, under the influence of high temperature, were incorporated and transformed into forms of functional groups favorable for electrochemical application. Electrochemical studies proved that the form of pyridine-N, pyrrole-N, and quaternary-N groups have favorable electrochemical properties in the oxygen reduction reaction comparable to commercial platinum-based electrode materials. Using these materials as electrodes in metal-air batteries or fuel cells may eliminate the use of noble metal-based electrodes.

Abstract
Herein, we present a synthesis route for high-efficiency nitrogen-doped carbon materials using kraft pulping residue, black liquor, and wood charcoal as carbon sources. The synthesized nitrogen-doped carbon materials, based on black liquor and its mixture with wood charcoal, exhibited high specific surface areas (SSAs) of 2481 and 2690 m2 g-1, respectively, as well as a high volume of mesopores with an average size of 2.9-4.6 nm. The nitrogen content was approximately 3-4 at% in the synthesized nitrogen-doped carbon materials. A specific capacitance of approximately 81-142 F g-1 was achieved in a 1 M Na2SO4 aqueous solution at a current density of 0.2 A g-1. In addition, the specific capacitance retention was 99% after 1000 cycles, indicating good electrochemical stability.

Abstract
Following the core theme of a circular economy, a novel strategy to upcycle cigarette butt waste into platinum group metal (PGM)-free metal nitrogen carbon (M-N-C) electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is presented. The experimental route was composed of (i) the transformation of the powdered cigarette butts into carbonaceous char via pyrolysis at 450 °C, 600 °C, 750 °C and 900 °C, (ii) the porosity activation with KOH and (iii) the functionalization of the activated chars with iron (II) phthalocyanine (FePc). The electrochemical outcomes obtained by the rotating disk electrode (RRDE) technique revealed that the sample pyrolyzed at 450 °C (i.e., cig_450) outperformed the other counterparts with its highest onset (Eon) and half-wave potentials (E1/2) and demonstrated nearly tetra-electronic ORR in acidic, neutral and alkaline electrolytes, all resulting from the optimal surface chemistry and textural properties.

Abstract
Herein we investigated hydrophilic surface modification of SiOx containing amorphous hydrogenated carbon nanocomposite films (DLC:SiOx) via the use of atmospheric oxygen plasma treatment. The modified films exhibited effective hydrophilic properties with complete surface wetting. More detailed water droplet contact angle (CA) measurements revealed that oxygen plasma treated DLC:SiOx films maintained good wetting properties with CA of up to 28 ± 1° after 20 days of aging in ambient air at room temperature. This treatment process also increased surface root mean square roughness from 0.27 nm to 1.26 nm. Analysis of the surface chemical states suggested that the hydrophilic behavior of DLC:SiOx treated with oxygen plasma is attributed to surface enrichment with C-O-C, SiO2, and Si-Si chemical bonds as well as significant removal of hydrophobic Si-CHx functional groups. The latter functional groups are prone to restoration and are mainly responsible for the increase in CA with aging. Possible applications of the modified DLC:SiOx nanocomposite films could include biocompatible coatings for biomedical applications, antifogging coatings for optical components, and protective coatings to prevent against corrosion and wear.

Abstract
It is desirable for a sustainable society that the production and utilization of renewable materials are net-zero in terms of carbon emissions. Carbon materials with emerging applications in CO2 utilization, renewable energy storage and conversion, and biomedicine have attracted much attention both academically and industrially. However, the preparation process of some new carbon materials suffers from energy consumption and environmental pollution issues. Therefore, the development of low-cost, scalable, industrially and economically attractive, sustainable carbon material preparation methods are required. In this regard, the use of biomass and its derivatives as a precursor of carbon materials is a major feature of sustainability. Recent advances in the synthetic strategy of sustainable carbon materials and their emerging applications are summarized in this short review. Emphasis is made on the discussion of the original intentions and various sustainable strategies for producing sustainable carbon materials. This review provides basic insights and significant guidelines for the further design of sustainable carbon materials and their emerging applications in catalysis and the biomedical field.
