Abstract Olefin/paraffin separation is an important but challenging and energy-intensive process in petrochemical industry. The realization of carbons with size-exclusion capability highly desirable rarely reported. Herein, we report polydopamine-derived (PDA-Cx, where x refers to the pyrolysis temperature) tailorable sub-5 Å micropore orifices together larger microvoids by one-step pyrolysis. centered at 4.1–4.3 PDA-C800 3.7–4.0 PDA-C900 allow entry olefins while entirely excluding their...
A natural, effective, and inexpensive hindered phenolic antioxidant mixture was prepared by blending lignin into quercetin. The performance of quercetin analyzed determining the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging capacity a low-cost high-efficiency ratio found to be 4:1 (w/w). After UV radiation for 4 h, DPPH quercetin/lignin decreased only 13.8%, while that 42.9% 28.6%, respectively. fluorescence analysis indicated molecules inserted weaken its aggregation form new...
Abstract We introduce a straightforward method for the preparation of novel starch‐based ultramicroporous carbons (SCs) that demonstrate high CH 4 uptake and excellent /N 2 selectivity. These SCs are derived from combination starch 1–6 wt.% acrylic acid, resulting materials amenable to surface cation exchangeability as demonstrated by formation highly dispersed K + in carbon precursors. Following activation, these contain ultramicropores with narrow pore‐size distributions <0.7 nm,...

Electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (ECO2RR) represents a promising approach for attaining neutral carbon cycle and the sustainable production of value-added chemicals. However, fabricating nonprecious metals catalysts with high selectivity within broad potential window excellent stability under tough electrolytic conditions remains great challenge.

Abstract Separations of both C 3 alkene/alkane and 4 alkadiene/alkenes are great commercial significance as propylene butadiene represent important feedstock chemicals, but the full extraction them using carbon‐based separating agents has yet to be fully realized. Herein, derived from low‐cost starch precursors, we report a series ultramicroporous starch‐based carbon materials (SC‐M; M = Na, K, Rb), with sub‐Ångstrom tunable ultramicropore apertures separate targeted gases high purity. Among...

Abstract In nature, organic molecules play a vital role in light harvesting and photosynthesis. However, regarding artificial water splitting, the research focus is primarily on inorganic semiconductors. Although photocatalysts have high structural variability, they tend to exhibit lower quantum efficiencies for splitting than their counterparts. Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) offer an attractive route introduce different functional units into covalent frameworks (COFs) enable...
