The role of carbon materials in heterogeneous catalysis

Metal-support interaction in Pt/C catalysts. Influence of the support surface chemistry and the metal precursor

On the difference between the isoelectric point and the point of zero charge of carbons

Tpd and TPR characterization of carbonaceous supports and Pt/C catalysts

Publisher Summary This chapter presents a global view about the importance of the surface chemistry to the major environmental applications of the carbons As an introduction to this issue, a brief analysis of the surface groups and the available techniques for characterization is reported Activated carbons is developed for a large number of highly specialized applications, both as structural and functional materials The surface functional groups determine the self-organization, the chemical stability, and the reactivity in adsorptive and catalytic processes Knowledge of the surface chemistry of carbon materials is of paramount importance as the physicochemical properties of carbons are strongly influenced by the presence of chemical species on the surface, and hence many of their applications are conditioned by their chemical characteristics The chapter also discusses the effect of surface functionality on the electrosorption of ions for energy storage, its impact on the electrical double layer properties, and the capacity for energy storage
