We report the one-pot mechanochemical synthesis of N-doped porous carbons at room temperature using a planetary ball mill. The fast reaction (5 minutes) between calcium carbide and cyanuric chloride proceeds in absence of any solvent and displays a facile bottom-up strategy that completely avoids typical thermal carbonization steps and directly yields a N-doped porous carbon containing 16 wt% of nitrogen and exhibiting a surface area of 1080 m2 g-1.

Precious metal-based single-atom catalysts (PM-SACs) hosted in N-doped carbon supports have shown new opportunities to revolutionize cathodic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, stabilizing the high density of PM-N sites remains a challenge, primarily due to the inherently high free energy of isolated metal atoms, predisposing them to facile atomic agglomeration. Herein, a molten salt-assisted synthesis strategy is proposed to prepare porous PM/N-C (PM = Ru, Pt, and Pd) electrocatalysts with densely accessible PM-N sites.

Rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs) with high-performance and stability is desirable for encouraging the transition of the technology from academia to industries. However, achieving this balance remains a formidable challenge, primarily due to the requirement of robust, earth-abundant reversible oxygen electrocatalyst. The present study introduces a simple strategy to synthesize Co-N rich nanoalloy with N-doped porous carbon tubes (NiCo@NPCTs).

The development of a novel multifunctional adsorbent for the sensitive detection and capture of antibiotic residues in environmental and food samples presents a significant challenge. In this study, we synthesized a pioneering nanocomposite, ILs@PC, by encapsulating task-specific ionic liquids (ILs) within nitrogen-doped porous carbon (PC) derived from metal-triazolate frameworks. This ILs@PC nanocomposite functions as a multifunctional adsorbent in dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE), enabling simultaneous sorptive removal, sensitive detection, and molecular sieve selection.

Nitrogen-doped porous hydrochar (NPHC) was successfully synthesized by hydrothermal carbonization and activation with KHCO, which was employed for scavenging hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) and bisphenol A (BPA) in contaminated water. N doping increased the unique active sites such as amino and molecular N in NPHC for adsorbing contaminants, and enhanced the activation effect. Compared to original (HC) and N-doped hydrochar (NHC), the S of material improved from 3.
