Mesoporous Graphitic Carbon Nitride‐Based Nanospheres as Visible‐Light Active Chemical Warfare Agents Decontaminant

Mesoporous Carbon Nanospheres as a Multifunctional Carrier for Cancer Theranostics

Optical nanomaterials with intense absorption in near-infrared (NIR) region hold great promise for biomedical applications such as photothermal therapy (PTT) and photoacoustic imaging (PAI). In this work, we report mesoporous carbon nanospheres (Meso-CNs) with broadband and intense absorption in the UV-Vis-NIR region (300-1400 nm) and explore their potential as a multifunctional platform for ph...

Synthesis and Electrochemical Study of Nano Graphitic Mesoporous Carbon

In the present study, a type of graphitic mesoporous carbon (denoted as GMC) is synthesized and its structural properties were characterized by nitrogen physisorption isotherms, transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. According to BET and BJH methods, the specific surface area (SBET) and the average pore diameter of GMC are estimated to be 720 m2/g and 3.4 nm, respectively....

Iron-montmorillonite clays as active sorbents for the decontamination of hazardous chemical warfare agents.

A class of heterogeneous catalysts based on commercial bentonite from natural origin, containing at least 80 wt% of montmorillonite clay, was designed to transform selectively and under mild conditions toxic organosulfur and organophosphorus chemical warfare agents into non-noxious products with a reduced impact on health and environment. The bentonite from the natural origin was modified by in...

Chemical activities of graphitic carbon spheres

Monodispersive carbon spheres with a high percentage of purity have been synthesized using a mixed-valent oxide-catalytic carbonization (MVOCC) process. In this paper, the chemical activities of the carbon spheres are examined by dispersing Pt, CdS and WO, nanoparticles, respectively, on the carbon surfaces from the microstructure information provided by transmission electron microscopy. The sp...
