Magnetite (FeO) nanoparticle-encapsulated mesoporous carbon nanocomposite was fabricated from Fe-based metal-organic framework (MOF) (MIL-102) through carbonization. It was found that Fe-based MOF (MIL-102) is a potential precursor for the fabrication of hexagonal mesoporous carbon nanodisk functionalized with FeO nanoparticles. The obtained nanocomposite was characterized by XRD, FT-IR, N adsorption and desorption, FE-SEM and HRTEM techniques. As a Fenton-like solid catalyst for phenol degradation, FeO nanoparticle-encapsulated mesoporous carbon showed greater catalytic activity for the production of hydroxyl radical from the decomposition of HO and it accomplished 100% phenol and 82% total organic carbon (TOC) conversion, within 120 min of reaction. This enhanced catalytic performance was due to confined access for the pollutant to the iron oxide nanoparticles provided by mesopores in carbon shell. Bare FeO nanodisk shows poor catalytic performance in the degradation of phenol, and it obviously reveals the significance of the mesoporous carbon support for iron oxide nanoparticles.

This study presents a novel nanostructured material formed by inserting oxidized carbon nanohorns (CNHox) between layered graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets using metal ions (M) from nitrate as intermediates. The resulting GO-CNHox-M structure effectively mitigated interlayer aggregation of the GO nanosheets. This insertion strategy promoted the formation of nanowindows on the surface of the GO sheets and larger mesopores between the GO nanosheets, improving material porosity.

High-performance electrocatalysts are highly concerned in oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) related energy applications. However, facile synthesis of hierarchically porous structures with highly exposed active sites and improved mass transfer is challenging. Herein, we develop a novel assembly-foaming strategy for synthesizing hierarchically porous nitrogen-doped carbon supported single-atom iron catalysts.

Deuterated compounds have broad applications across various fields, with dehalogenative deuteration serving as an efficient method to obtain these molecules. However, the diverse electronic structures of active sites in the heterogeneous system and the limited recyclability in the homogeneous system significantly hinder the advancement of dehalogenative deuteration. In this study, we present a catalyst composed of copper single-atom sites anchored within an ordered mesoporous nitrogen-doped carbon matrix, synthesized via a mesopore confinement method.

Nanoconfinement at the interface of heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts offers promising avenues for advancing oxidation processes in water purification. Herein, we introduce a template-free strategy for synthesizing nanoconfined catalysts from municipal sludge (S-NCCs), specifically engineered to optimize reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and utilization for rapid pollutant degradation. Using selective hydrofluoric acid corrosion, we create an architecture that confines atomically dispersed Fe centers within a micro-mesoporous carbon matrix in situ.

Carbon-based printable mesoscopic solar cells (p-MPSCs) offer significant advantages for industrialization due to their simple fabrication process, low cost, and scalability. Recently, the certified power conversion efficiency of p-MPSCs has exceeded 22%, drawing considerable attention from the community. However, the key challenge in improving device performance is achieving uniform and high-quality perovskite crystallization within the mesoporous structure.
