TL;DR: In this article, an ordered mesoporous carbon CMK-3 (OMC) was prepared and modified by oxidation with nitric acid, and the results showed that oxidized OMC had a substantially higher oxygen content than oxidized AC.

TL;DR: The findings highlight the importance of specific interactions of NACs with proteins to cause them to malfunction, and the influence of nitro-group substitution on these interactions.

TL;DR: A novel catalyst fabricated by the confined pyrolysis of nano-sized Ni-MOF-74 that was in situ grown in the mesopores of SBA-15 displayed prominent catalytic activity and selectivity in the gas phase catalytic hydrodechlorination of 1,2-dichloroethane.

TL;DR: In this paper, the photo-reduction of silver ions (Ag+) mediated by dissolved black carbon (DBC), a vital dissolved organic matter released from black carbon, was observed to effectively mediate the photo reduction of Ag to the silver nanoparticles (nAg) under simulated sunlight.

TL;DR: The surface quinone moieties of BC induce the formation of reactive reducing sulfur species by acting as one-electron acceptors and facilitate nitrobenzene reduction by sulfide, indicating that these carbonaceous materials may play an important role in the fate process of organic contaminants as both carriers and catalysts.
