Phosphorus is fast becoming a critical element, as the global supply and demand are reaching unsustainable levels. Herein, the synthesis, characterization, and applicability of a novel biomass-derived mesoporous carbonaceous material decorated with CeO (CeO-S400) as an efficient catalyst for the dephosphorylation of 4-nitrophenyl phosphate disodium salt hexahydrate are reported. The presence and distribution of CeO are evidenced by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) (118.7 mg/g), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) mapping. The apparent rate constant for the efficient catalysis of 4-nitrophenyl phosphate disodium salt hexahydrate was 0.097 ± 0.01 for CeO-ES and 0.15 ± 0.03 min for CeO-S400, which followed first-order kinetics. Rate constants normalized by the catalytic loading ( ) were 80.84 and 15.00 g min for CeO-ES and CeO-S400, respectively, and the normalized rate constants with respect to surface area were 3.38 and 0.04 m min for CeO-ES and CeO-S400, respectively. This indicates that the presence of CeO nanoparticles has a catalytic effect on the dephosphorylation reaction.

Mesoporous carriers have gained significant attention for enhancing the solubility and bioavailability of Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) Class II drugs. However, the contribution of mesoporous carriers with varying morphologies to the physical stability of these drugs is not well-defined. In this work, mesoporous carbon nanoparticles (MCN) and hollow carbon mesoporous nanoparticles (HMC) were prepared, while the weakly acidic Indomethacin (IMC) and alkaline Celecoxib (CXB) were incorporated into these carriers in the amorphous state by the solvent evaporation method.

Vertically ordered mesoporous silica films (VMSF) are a class of porous materials composed of ultrasmall pores and ultrathin perpendicular nanochannels, which are attractive in the areas of electroanalytical sensors and molecular separation. However, VMSF easily falls off from the carbonaceous electrodes and thereby impacts their broad applications. Herein, carbon nitride nanosheets (CNNS) were served as an adhesive layer for stable growth of VMSF on the glassy carbon electrode (GCE).

The increasing amount of coal gasification fine slag (CGFS) necessitates its resource utilization. CGFS, mainly composed of porous carbonaceous particles and partially fused spherical or agglomerated ash particles, is an inexpensive and high-quality raw material for preparing adsorbent materials. However, the challenge remains in developing a simple, low-cost, and environmentally friendly method to produce high-performance porous materials from CGFS.
