Novel heteratom-doped carbon-based nanometallic catalysts and their application in catalytic conversion of renewable platform molecules
The value-added conversion of renewable platform molecules to advanced fuels and fine chemi-cals is a promising strategy for meeting future sustainability needs.Because carbon-based nanocatalysts have good electronic and geometric properties,they have a strong ability to enhance catalyst activity and stability.The regular and uniform structure make it possible to explore their intrinsic reaction mechanisms and provide a site for the value-added conversion of renewable platform molecules to advanced fuels and chemicals.Heteroatom doping can effectively solve the problem of weak interaction force between unmodi-fied carbon materials and metal and easy agglomeration deactivation,and can change the inherent special properties of carbon carriers,which provides the possibility of customized carbon catalysts for specific catalytic reactions.The research progress on heteratomic-doped carbon-based nano-metal catalysts is discussed,mainly involving the doping of nitrogen,boron,phosphorus,sulfur and other elements,and the application in catalytic conversion of renewable platform molecules.These methods for the regulation of catalyst properties conducive to the understanding of the structure-property relationship of carbon-based catalysts.Finally,the challenges and potential applications of carbon-based nanocatalysts are also discussed.
