Carbon has outstanding physical properties such as high electrical conductivity and excellent mechanical strength and chemically and physically robustness. The nanostructured carbon such as nanoporous carbons, single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and graphenes have promising potentials for giving solutions to the global warming issue. This presentation introduces the importance of structural...

Nanoporous materials offer significant advantages for application as selective sorbents, catalysts or...
The safe storage and utilisation of gases, such as hydrogen, is an ongoing research area and has the potential to promote hydrogen as a major substitute for carbon-based fuels. Clathrates (gas hydrates) are water-based crystal structures (ice-like) able to trap hydrogen or methane molecules in the cages formed by the scaffold arrangements. As only water is required for the construction of the...
Activated carbon textiles, owing to their physical form and developed porosity might have a potential to replace activated carbon layers in either gas masks or warfighters’ garments. In order to increase their detoxification activity modification of surface chemistry is needed. It is well known that certain functional groups on the carbon surface might increase the catalytic activity [1] and...
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) hold promise as gas separation membranes due to their tunable permeation properties enabled by the structural diversity stemming from the plethora of available metal/organic combinations. Among MOFs, zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) have been studied extensively for their potential as selective separation membranes because their unique structural...
Graphene MesoSponge® (GMS) is a new type of graphene-based mesoporous material synthesized via template-directed chemical vapor deposition, followed by template removal and high-temperature annealing at 1800 °C1,2. GMS consists mainly of single-layer graphene walls with minimal number of edge sites and enriched topological defects (non-hexagonal carbon rings)3. From its unique structure, the...
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are microporous adsorbents for high-throughput gas separation. Such materials exhibit distinct adsorption characteristics owing to the flexibility of the crystal framework in a nanoparticle, which can be different from its bulk crystal. However, for practical applications, such particles need to be compacted into macroscopic pellets, creating mass-transport...
Porous materials have sparked tremendous interest as solid sorbents for various applications due to chemical variability and tunability in building blocks, degrees of order, surface areas, pore sizes and shapes, and surface functionalities to optimize their performances. Among the industrially relevant porous physisorbents, zeolites, mesoporous silicas, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have...
Magnetic separation is one of the most efficient and rapid methods currently used for nucleic acid isolation and was used during the COVID-19 pandemic. Magnetic nanoparticles can easily separate viral RNA and DNA from complex clinical samples without the need for centrifugation steps and laborious traditional organic extraction or column separation techniques. Using an external magnetic field,...
