Sulfonated mesoporous silica-carbon nanocomposites for biomass conversion KU Leuven
Over the past decades, researchers have made great efforts in the synthesis and functionalization of ordered mesoporous carbon or silica-carbon nanocomposites. These materials have the merits of mesostructures; that is, a high surface area and large pore volume. Meanwhile, the carbon moieties in the framework provide the advantages of organic component, which is hydrophobicity and the ability to be easily functionalized. These materials are ...
