A heterogeneous catalyst is a functional material that continually creates active sites with its
reactants under reaction conditions. These sites change the rates of chemical reactions of …

Metal-free boron-and carbon-based catalysts have shown both great fundamental and
practical value in oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of light alkanes. In particular, boron …

Nanostructured Fe–N–C materials represent a new type of “platinum-like” non-noble-metal
catalyst for various electrochemical reactions and organic transformations. However, no …

The exothermic oxidative dehydrogenation of propane reaction to generate propene has the
potential to be a game-changing technology in the chemical industry. However, even after …

Graphene is one of the most promising materials in nanotechnology. From a theoretical
point of view, it provides the ultimate two-dimensional model of a catalytic support. Its unique …

Nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been used as an excellent material
for catalysis, separation, adsorption and disinfection processes. CNTs have grabbed the …

Ordered mesoporous carbon materials have recently aroused great research interest
because of their widespread applications in many areas such as adsorbents, catalysts and …

The unique tubular morphology of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has trig-gered wide research
interest. These structures can be used as nanoreactors and to create novel composites …

Catalysis, as a key and enabling technology, plays an increasingly important role in fields
ranging from energy, environment and agriculture to health care. Rational design and …

This review analyses the literature from the early 1990s until the beginning of 2003 and
covers the use of carbon nanotubes (CNT) and nanofibers as catalysts and catalysts …
