The gold-catalyzed acetylene hydrochlorination reaction is an important process to produce
vinyl chloride monomer in the polyvinyl chloride industry. The traditional catalyst of carbon …

Gold nanoparticles stabilized by phosphine-decorated polymer immobilized ionic liquids
(AuNP@ PPh2-PIILP) is an extremely efficient multiproduct selective catalyst for the sodium …

Graphitic carbon nitride (gC 3 N 4) was prepared using a simple method. Activated carbon
(AC) was used to support the gC 3 N 4 catalyst. Catalytic evaluation indicated that the gC 3 …

Nitrogen-doped carbons are promising materials for a broad range of applications.
