Article Synopsis
- Porous carbon materials are becoming popular in catalysis because they offer customizable surface characteristics, high surface area, excellent thermal stability, and are cost-effective.
- The study focuses on understanding the structure-function relationship of these materials, particularly how specific surface features affect their effectiveness in dry reforming of methane (DRM).
- Key findings indicate that quinone/ketone carbonyl groups are crucial for catalytic activity, and the best-performing catalyst (MC-600-800) achieved a CH conversion of 51% at high temperatures, paving the way for innovative metal-free carbon catalysts in oil processing.
