Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Porous carbon nanocomposites are one of the most important, common, and efficient catalysts for multiple fields owing to their inexpensive and easily available raw materials, high specific surface area, large pore volume, excellent electricity, and thermal conductivity. This Special Issue is focused on Porous Carbon Nanocomposites for Catalysis. The materials in focus are porous carbon-based nanocomposites, whose applications should focus on catalysis for energy conversion, organic synthesis, biomass conversion, pollutant treatment, sensors and combustion, but not limited to them.  We welcome papers showing the innovative or highly effective role of porous carbon nanocomposites in catalytic functions, material functionalization, or the construction of structure-activity relationships.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

S-doping emerged as a promising approach to further improve the catalytic performance of carbon-based materials for organic synthesis. Herein, a facile and gram-scale strategy was developed using zeolitic imidazole frameworks (ZIFs) as a precursor for the fabrication of the ZIF-derived N, S co-doped carbon-supported zinc single-atom catalyst (CNS@Zn1-AA) via the pyrolysis of S-doped ZIF-8, which was modified by aniline, ammonia and thiourea and prepared by one-pot ball milling at room temperature. This catalyst, in which Zn is dispersed as the single atom, displays superior activity in N-alkylation via the hydrogen-borrowing strategy (120 °C, turnover frequency (TOF) up to 8.4 h−1). S-doping significantly enhanced the catalytic activity of CNS@Zn1-AA, as it increased the specific surface area and defects of this material and simultaneously increased the electron density of Zn sites in this catalyst. Furthermore, this catalyst had excellent stability and recyclability, and no obvious loss in activity after eight runs. Full article

Carbon-based iron catalysts combining the advantages of iron and carbon material are efficient and sustainable catalysts for green organic synthesis. The present review summarizes the recent examples of carbon-based iron catalysts for organic reactions, including reduction, oxidation, tandem and other reactions. In addition, the introduction strategies of iron into carbon materials and the structure and activity relationship (SAR) between these catalysts and organic reactions are also highlighted. Moreover, the challenges and opportunities of organic synthesis over carbon-based iron catalysts have also been addressed. This review will stimulate more systematic and in-depth investigations on carbon-based iron catalysts for exploring sustainable organic chemistry. Full article
