TL;DR: In this paper, the development and recent progress towards different synthesis strategies to generate both powder and membrane/film-based ZIF materials are analysed and summarised Their attractive and potential applications in gas separation, catalysis, sensing and electronic devices, and drug delivery in the past years are discussed and reviewed.

TL;DR: Desorption studies reveal that Pb2+ can be easily removed from carbon Nanotubes by altering the pH values of the solution using both HCl and HNO3, indicating that carbon nanotubes are a promising absorbent for wastewater treatment.

TL;DR: The N-doped zeolite-templated carbons are among the most promising solid-state absorbents reported so far for CO2 capture and storage as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, recent progress towards porous carbon-based materials for hydrogen storage is analyzed and reviewed, and strategies for effectively controlling the hydrogen storage capacity and tuning the hydrogen adsorption enthalpy for porous carbon materials via appropriate manipulation of surface area, pore volume and pore size are discussed in detail.

TL;DR: In this article, a large-scale production of pure carbon spheres, with diameters from 50nm to 1μm, has been achieved via direct pyrolysis of a wide range of hydrocarbons, including styrene, toluene, benzene, hexane, cyclohexane and ethene, in the absence of catalyst.
