The properties and the performance of these unique materials can be altered with suitable modifications on their surface. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in the preparation and applications of organo-functionalized porous materials with different structures. Initially, a brief historical overview of functionalized porous materials is presented, and the subsequent sections discuss the recent developments and applications of various functional porous materials. In particular, the focus is given on the various methods used for the preparation of organo-functionalized materials and their important roles in the heterogenization of homogeneous catalysts. A special emphasis is also given on the applications of these functionalized porous materials for catalysis, CO₂ capture and drug delivery.]]> Wed 30 Aug 2023 14:39:22 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44406 Wed 12 Oct 2022 14:43:31 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36598 Wed 10 Jun 2020 15:12:43 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37750 Tue 30 May 2023 12:22:18 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38975 Tue 22 Mar 2022 17:45:30 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54120 -1 at 0.5 A g^-1 ), large specific capacity for sodium-ion battery (349 mAg h^-1 at 50 mAh g^-1 ), and excellent CO₂ adsorption capacity (27.14 mmol g^-1 at 30 bar). Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that different adsorption sites (B-C, B-N, C-N, and C-C) and the large specific surface area strongly support the high adsorption capacity. This finding offers an innovative breakthrough in the design and development of MBCN nanostructures for energy storage and carbon capture applications.]]> Tue 06 Feb 2024 11:29:36 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31004 Arundo donax, with zinc chloride. The textural parameters of the AMB can easily be controlled by varying the activation temperature. It is demonstrated that the mesoporosity of AMB can be finely tuned with a simple adjustment of the amount of activating agent. AMB with almost 100% mesoporosity can be achieved using the activating agent and the biomass ratio of 5 and carbonization at 500 °C. Under the optimized conditions, AMB with a BET surface area of 3298 m² g^–1 and a pore volume of 1.9 cm³ g^–1 can be prepared. While being used as an adsorbent for CO₂ capture, AMB registers an impressively high pressure CO₂ adsorption capacity of 30.2 mmol g^–1 at 30 bar which is much higher than that of activated carbon (AC), multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), highly ordered mesoporous carbons, and mesoporous carbon nitrides. AMB also shows high stability with excellent regeneration properties under vacuum and temperatures of up to 250 °C. These impressive textural parameters and high CO₂ adsorption capacity of AMB clearly reveal its potential as a promising adsorbent for high-pressure CO₂ capture and storage application. Also, the simple one-step synthesis strategy outlined in this work would provide a pathway to generate a series of novel mesoporous activated biocarbons from different biomasses.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:34:50 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48220 Sat 11 Mar 2023 12:36:58 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51886 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:32:53 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39128 –1 even after 1000 cycles at a current density of 1 A g^–1, which is much higher than that of other counterparts comprising s-triazine (C₃H₃N₃, g-C₃N₄), pristine MCN-1, and B-containing MCN-1 (B-MCN-1) subunits or carbon allotropes like CNT and graphene (rGO) materials. The P-MCN-1 electrode also exhibits exceptional rate capability even at high current densities of 5, 10, and 20 A g^–1 delivering 685, 539, and 274 mAh g^–1, respectively, after 2500 cycles. The high electrical conductivity and Li-ion diffusivity (D), estimated from electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS), very well support the extraordinary electrochemical performance of the P-MCN-1. Higher formation energy, lower bandgap value, and high Li-ion adsorption ability predicted by first principle calculations of P-MCN-1 are in good agreement with experimentally observed high lithium storage, stable cycle life, high power capability, and minimal irreversible capacity (IRC) loss. To the best of our knowledge, it is an entirely new material with the combination of ordered mesostructures with P codoping in carbon nitride substructure which offers superior performance for LIB, and hence we believe that this work will create new momentum for the design and development of clean energy storage devices.]]> Mon 29 Jan 2024 17:48:09 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41089 Fri 22 Jul 2022 17:18:26 AEST ]]>
