MOF-derived heteroatom-doped mesoporous carbons have gained the significant consideration in heterogenous catalytic reactions because of their multipurpose features. Especially, the high Specific Surface Area (SSA) of these materials provides abundant activated sites for the catalytic reactions, while the mesoporous structure allows for the effective mass transfer, enhancing the overall capability of the catalytic process. Herein, the efficient NiO/CN-T (T referred to the pyrolysis temperature) was prepared by facile pyrolysis of MOF/CS composite (Ni-MOF (74), Chitosan) in the presence of excess amount of starch as the carbon precursor. The NiO/CN-T as heterogenous catalyst has desired SSA varied from 1094 to 491 m.g. The optimized catalyst (NiO/CN-600) possesses the superior catalytic activity toward the oxidation of the BnOHs due to its high SSA (1094 m.g), which can notably rectify the mass transfer proficiency. Additionally, the NiO/CN-600 heterogenous catalyst also represents the acceptable chemical stability. So, it was demonstrated that such an innovative strategy can provide several versatile tunability insights for the preparation of MOF/biopolymer-derived heterogenous catalysts.
